Re: 2004 zx10 tyres and pressures



Dude where the fuck did u get your info from??

In colder temps you want lower tyre pressure as what heats up a tyre is movement in the wall of tire hence a lower pressure gives more movement and flex and allows a tyre to warm up quicker and to correct operating temp.

On hotter days vis versa ...

The first set of power I had were nice and sticky ...

Just curious?! I've only seen about 3 or 4 in Sydney... But I still see lots of GSXR1300's... Whats the deal? Are they not selling well?


How long have ZX14's been around and how long long have Busa's been around...you figure it out :roll:

I managed a 10.805 on the 10r's second run. My first was 12.4!!!! This other guy was running consistent 10.6. My biggest problem was keeping the front down. I'd imagine it'd be a lot harder with girls weighing far less than guys...

We should do a drag night as a social meet for NSW!!!
