NinjaNick Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The front is just along for the ride. The rear is what takes the abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-flores Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 i would have never thought that a bike would run through tires that quick!!!i thought i got crappy mileage out of my stockers at 4300 miles. i was kinda upset. but i guess i should have a little bit more of a smile on my face.and nick if you are going through tires like that i would highly suggest you just buy race take offs.

I need some tread on the sides too for some cornering. 2insanezx10 and I had the sides of our tires feathering about 3 weeks ago while we were hitting the corners. We had a blast, so I need some tread for cornering too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Anytime man. I always am riding. It handles great until you hit TIGHT "S" turns. Trying to transition it left then right fast like the 636 is hard! But there's only 2-3 turns I know like that where I ride and that's how I found that out. But as you know we live here in Ohio and the center melts FAST on this bike from getting heavy handed on the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 see now u see what im talking about... the problem i have is the brocks sidewinder and being long then getting on a bike that 100lb lighter and sits higher and shorterlolWhat made you get sidewinder against the shorty meg? They produce same performance. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowbusa Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 What made you get sidewinder against the shorty meg? They produce same performance. Am I right? yes it makes the same power but i went threw 2 sets of headers last year with the upsweep so this year when we did the 1397 kit i went with the flat oil pan and the side winder so we can strap the front and lower even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowbusa Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Why did it cause 2 headers to fail? Also, how did it prevent from strapping more? the headers would hit the ground and it was riping the tubs open on lunching the bike at the track when it would come down just like the pic below when me or mike would come down off of that right there it would smack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
