Looks like i'm going against the flow with this but IME 014 are slippery as f*ck until properly warmed up, so if you ride all year you might want to consider something different.

Maybe the new Pilots from Michelin ?

I've just put a new 010 on the front and there seemed to be no problem getting that.

Yeah I got this as well, do we not have a "tell admin" function somewhere ?

If not could we not put one in? Luckily I just deleted this anyway.

well, TBH Idon't feel that it's that great a bargain to do that journey for. Anyone that sticks Bloody remoulds on a bike like the VTR deserves shooting !! god only know what other "Economies" have been made. The paintwork looks rather dull , as in not shiny. especially on the tail unit. m...

from what I hear CBR 6's are worse.

If I'm lucky I'm having my CCT's done under warranty, 6 months since I bought the Bike s/hand. Fingers crossed, at the very least i'm expecting the bill to be , eeerrmmm Negotiable, thats the word.

Alegedly 1 1/2 hours per cct..

Sorry but another CCT question.. I've noticed a Tapping from the top front of the engine I can only hear it when I'm wearing earplugs :? :? It sounds "wooden" ie like tapping a wood block you know the sort of tap you get when a cam is in need of adjustment. My gut tells me it's the cam but...

Interesting one this. only 2 out of eighteen would use car oil. What does your motorcycle manufacturer recommend? Check out Yamaha's site for an 2004 R1 for example. Does it say the oil should be "bike oil" No. all it says is the oil should be API SF,SG,SH or above. oil companies spend loa...
