The rear Pirelli Diablo is loosing chunks on the leading edge of the
tread blocks, is it a suspension set up? (too much rearbound or compression) I am still playing with the Ohlins.
Hope the pix show it clearly.

Tyre wear

Just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal,
The rear Pirelli Diablo is loosing chunks on the leading edge of the
tread blocks, is it a suspension set up? (too much rearbound or compression) I am still playing with the Ohlins.
Hope the pix show it clearly.

looks like normal wear from some hardish accelleration to me. The pics are not that clear however.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

under inflation will do that but the tire generally feels better with a little less air in it anyway.
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?

I know what you mean Wattie!!......After 160 klms of a track day, mine are looking like they may need to be changed BEFORE the snowies trip!
But they do grip awesomely well!!!!
