thats at EC anyway. Thats all you get time for at FX meets. new tyre on for the 1st race if you used a qualifying tyre.

I dont like seeing lots of lube used on the bead. last few rears ive had fitted by dunlop have all spun on the rim. Blurr had similar issues with his 600.

Less the better



yep 2 or 3 rears have spun in the past 12 -18 months.

Whilst I will say do whatever gives you confidence, so if that means tyre buff then suit yourself, but I tend to do the same as Wattie. By turn 8/9 where in action

Getting some dunlop sportsmarts fitted this arvo - so where do I get my hands on some of this cleaner? or will prepsol do the job?
