looks like you need to adjust your rear suspension to suite tyre and track to get some longevity from them

see Billy Kontominos (WP 104.#) & Joel Hughes (WP 101.#) both on CBR1RRs with Suspension by Zenodamper ;)

with some suspension attention your tyres will wear better, last longer and more than likely reduce times even further

that would be in regards to running them on worn stock susp... and he'd be right... given the times your punting i'm surprised they're not worse!

He'll be running the FX with you lot

Wakefield was his second time on the new bike (formerly GSXR750) and seems to be adapting well,sitting in the 104.s but should have a second or two up his sleeve by raceday. Joel is just a freakin natural :roll:

You can if you want to. Let me know though because I was going over Daves on the weekend to pick up coolers and stubby holders and I was going to grab the rear wheel as well. If you want it for next weekend though that's cool and I can drop the front over.

After I get my suspension back I can probably lease it to you for races. Might improve your tyre wear issues

even that may be overdue for an OEM unit under track/race conditions

unfortunately that won't pay his rent & bills... if you're mechanically inclined and looking for an apprenticeship you could apply... ;)
