Diablo Rosso are the best tires I ever put on any of my bikes and I have been riding for over 20 years. I think Pirelli made them out of glue.

 

I think so too. Once warm up after about 1 min of constant running, it is very sticky. Once a long haul trip, it will really feel like glue when u touch the tyres.

 

:sweat:

How time flies...

 

Big is certainly a warning but small can be downright scary! Never underestimate the effectiveness of small.

ride to petrol kiosk pump petrol.. go in shop around, queue up and pay for your petrol.. ride to the pump.. position your bike properly so that you can pump both tyres.. can pump already..

 

 

 

wow.. i use the same tyre i pump 235 265.. am i under inflating or are you over inflating?

 

So which one is correct tyre pressure for BT021?

Hmm sure I don't... So the compound is soft? Which means thread life wears faster? Whats the mileage covered for a pair of Pirelli Diablo HR tyres which you used?

I reckon the compound is medium soft. Last longer than BT090, given the fact than BT090 has even better grip of coz. Diablo gives you good mileage. My friend used his for about 1.5 year before he change to his second set. He is in the despatch line, so i think he travels about 25000km in a year at least. My mileage is low, used for about 5000km now and they still looks new to me which is a year+ now.

No problem, Bro. :cheeky:

Just happened that I have used M1 n Diablo b4, then I can give u my amateur opinion. Just bear in mind the production week & year of the Diablos. :btw: what is special abt the Bridgeport Tyre Valves?

Today went to change one set of Pirelli Diablo HRs at Unique Motorsports... $255... Unable to test yet... Still slippery and was raining all day...

 

Not enough $$$ to change to the Bridgeport tyre valves... Did other servicing though....

wet road good to test if the tyre grips well on wet or not mah..

Rat bike - A motorcycle not necessarily kept in pristine condition, often painted matt black. Minimal maintenance and mismatched parts often used.

i am not asking him to take corner like gp racer, or do a endo at the traffic light, just riding as like you would do on a wet road situation, you can feel if the tyre grips well. sorry hamtaros4, maybe my england no good ah..

 

no offense taken fz06.
