The nice bike shop man told me I should rotate my tyres every 100km. Do you guys thinks this sounds right?

I find mine rotate ok every time I ride the bike so I don't manually rotate them. (Unless I'm washing it, then when it's on the rear paddock stand I'll rotate the rear tyre).

I think you will find that has something to do with your rotary dampner and if you run the tre you will have the same problem.

What rotary damper?


damper - A device that eliminates or progressively diminishes vibrations or oscillations
dampener - A device that dampens or moistens something
dampner - Not even a friggin' word!!

Dampner- Thing that spewa fitted to snap frames when not bolted down properly and to cause tank slappers.

Tis listed in the spewa book of fug ups.

and you should do it every hour......

mate, he is pulling your pud. I bet if he could, he would send someone down to Dick Smith for a short circuit, or Bunnings for a left-handed screwdriver......

is that rootary dampner *chortle* the greatest pice of turdburger known to mankind or what ???? fair dinkum, technology like that should've stayed on Kenny Jr's MotoGP bike

Isn't it just a case of swapping front and rear? Handling would be great with a 180 on the front, not so sure about the 120 on the back though

hmmmm
you wanna ride a kwaka 750 which makes more than 100hp
which has a thin (i think its a 130section) rear tyre????
and
you wonder why i am a bit slow in the wet....??


hehehe


cheers

Let me think now. A ZX10 with a 190 on the front and a 120 on the back. That'd be a challenge. It'd be good to see what the profile of the 190 would be like squeezed onto the front rim though.

Your tyre man is clearly either taking the piss or he is mental. Run from him whenever you see him or hit him on the head with something heavy.

i wonder if the 120 at the back will be any good
