those are crap tyres. i would invest in a pair of gpr alpha-10's . they can really get your confidence going.


but then again ive seen someone scrape knees, pegs, and outride bigger bikes on the same tyres that were about 5 years old , and had absolutely no thread on them . all on a 93 fzr250 ...

awesome, some interesting posts in here guys.
guess i will just keep clocking up the k's until summer when i can go out and do a proper course and track day.
soo...things to remember...hang off as much as possible, tuck feet up, pick the right lines and most importantly have fun!!

I would have serious doubts to whether you can get a peg down on a 250 whilst still maintaining a safe lean angle on the road with BT45's.

And by the looks of that tyre your not close anyway. That's not a bad thing because you are still at a point where you can rearrange your riding style to allow ...

chicken strips???

Yep, you've got heaps of tyre to go so relax 'cause you're not even close to the bikes limit. I'd say you are about ready for a cornering course followed by a track day though, as they will teach you a bit more about riding technique and YOUR limitations and give you the ...

hey guys,

ive being riding for almost 6 months now and i think my cornering is improving. i can get enough angle to be scraping my toe sliders easy enough but im not confident enough to lean it over any further because i dont know how close to the limit i am! is there an easy way to tell? can i ...

chicken strips???

ok sweet, so is it still possible to lowside before you even make it to the point where you scrape the pegs or can you pretty much be confident that you still have a small buffer available to you?

i think im probably being slightly cautious about it and the bike will as you say lean further than i ...

and im keen as for a group ride hoffy, just gotta wait until we have some better weather

i kind of have the middle of my foot on the peg with my toes pushed up against the gear lever, i have being trying to slide my foot up further so i have more clearance but then i get paranoid that i mite be leaning over too far because i dont have anything to gauge it by ie my toes clipping the ...

sorted! turns out the spools do fit they were just super tight at the start of the thread

i wasnt too keen 2 use those platforms, they look wayy 2 unstable

Hey,

I just bought a rear stand from kaneg to use on my 08 ninja 250 and the 10mm spools they sent dont seem to fit, i can screw them in half a turn by hand but im not keen to use the allen key to force them as the last thing i wanna do is fk up the thread ;)

They also sent me a pair of flat ...

someone told me the ninja uses 10mm spools but theyre too big anyone wanna swap for 8mm's?
how do i use the flat platforms? im confused just looking at them! lol

what a champ! he's hooking me up with a rear stand and flat platforms AND spools for $95 delivered instead of the usual $140 or whateva it is

hmm....old thread revived! haha
