BT016

 

I was looking around to check the pricing to change my OEM BT014 to BT016. The prices I got from two place for the same thing (tyres front and rear with installation and balancing)

 

LAB quoted me 330 and Unique quoted me 410.. There is a vast difference in price.. Does any one know why? From what I understand Bridgestone BT016 is coming from Japan only. Is it being manufactured any where else?? The

Every tires got expiry date one. Try to take a look on when the tire is manufactured. Over a year, DO NOT get the tire. Please correct me if I am wrong here. Other extra service like Wheel balancing, Nitrogen air in tires also adds cost to it.

Change to aftermarket brake hose will solve the prob.

 

As for you issue with suspension. Most of us feels that it is too soft. You can adjust the suspension to your liking by turning the knob. Changing fork oil / spring will help the bounch further. Changing the fornt fork assembly may eliminate that fully.

 

Feeling shocks on road.....Only one answer. Its a Suzuki. Try a honda and you will know why.

[cyrix76]

On the chain protector, there is a sticker which state the tyre pressure. It also state our tyre brand and model. But they are in Japanese.

 

Let me translate those :

 

Single Rider

Front Pressure:

250 kPa or 36 PSI

Rear Pressure:

250 kPa or 36 PSI

 

With Pillion

Front Pressure:

250 kPa or 36 PSI

Rear Pressure:

290 kPa or 42 PSI

 

Tyre: Bridgestone

Model: BT014

 

It is for reference for stock tyres. If you have a different tyre, then the pressure might be different for different tyre model.
