Another thought... 32/30 seems quite low pressure for road use. Are they your day to day pressures or is that for track? I have read somewhere else on here that running your rear at a lower pressure than the front is the way to go although I haven't seen many doing it.
I would not run the dunlops at the pressures I have stated, I tried various pressures with the OE tyres they seemed to do nothing as the tyres were just rubbish IMO. BMW state 38f 40r on the s1000rr on Metzler interact K3's. I was using them on the track at 32 f and 26 r Metzler rep said rear could go as low as 24. I find 32f 30r great for road. But that's personal preference
I understand wanting to chuck her into the corners ect just consider the roads are still very cold at the moment.
Hi - Have posted some pictures in other threads, but gor more now Looks sunny tomorrow...................
i was asked a while ago about oe tyres mine came with bridgestones fitted. and have had no probs with them, would have replyed sooner but loving bike so much ive been out enjoying the bike,
Personaly i think white is the nicest colour for the 2012. Cant wait to see the first 1 with white wheels and bellypan. Photoshop anybody ??
So cmon boys how does the bike feel??? have you owned a 08 to 011 and swapped is it better worse same?? Hey everton get them rear footrest off and a smaller plate
traded in a 2010 abs blade for the new 2012, got to say the bike is better, new shocks are the buissnes, smoothed out the ride, and in my opinion honda have done the right thing and evolved the bike bike rather than make whole sail changes,certanly does not need traction control,
Bought 1st of March managed 130 mile so far. Seen a few negative reports on the new blade (to be fair only from people who've been on test rides not people who own one) but for me the improvements are all positive. Suspension is excellent, l have a TTX ready to go on but don't think l will notice much difference. Wheels look the dogs, will be swapping them for some 16.5 PVMS but that's only because l get free 16.5 tyres. New styling is miles better the the 08-11, mines red but colour is down the personally preference. Dash is a massive improvement, especially the gear indicator and a laptimer. Have to agree with earlier comments, never had TC so not missing it, no need for anti wheelie etc etc Fitted a Arrow GP2 and Arrow rearsets. Overall £3500 will spent (traded 11 plate HRC in)
Very happy with mine. Untitled by (MrB), on Flickr Still waiting for the Akra system to be delivered, levers, tail tidy, fuel cap done. The S20 tyres keep on impressing. Will let you know how they cope with the slog up to the IOM and back.
