ponyjr1647545514 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Take it easy for the first 50 or so miles. That's about it really, it wears off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 scoth bright pad if you wanna remove the oily stuff. Iron Pony mounted my tire and did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just take it easy on it. Basically you want to gradually increase the lean angle until you wear the oil off. IIRC your bike is lowered anyway, so not like you're going to put any hard abuse on that tire in a turn, ever. Just take it easy on braking for the first few miles and you'll be golden.

ruinms Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 we had the whole bike up there. i ended up taking off the wheel and taking it to sports cycles. i actually rode it today. i went up 33 to gender, then down 674 to 188, then back to lancaster to get the slim off. thanks for all the help guys.
