DangBruhY Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I don't hear anyone talking about them, because I don't read those threads. I don't want to tease myself.Right now I work 3 jobs. 1 FT 2 PT. I have no time do to anything. I haven't had a weekend off in 2 weeks and I have 3 more weeks to go before I get one. Then that weekend will be when I have to go to Chicago for my brothers wedding. It's just been non-stop for me. The only riding I get to do is to and from work. That's why I'm hitting these ramps like they are twisties on the backroads.Thanks for the offer. If I get some time, I WILL take you up on it.

blue03636 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 if you are just tooling around town go around 34/34. If u want to do some hard riding go 30/30,but give them a little time to warm up before you really twist that thang. This is a very general setting as diff tires need diff pressure's. My #'s are good for pirelli and metzler tires.these numbers also work for michelin street tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOW Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Throttling through the apex and getting some wheel spin? I used to have this happen with the stock Dunlop's. Dunlops tend to be crapI'm not sure what the tire brand is or the tire pressure. They were on the bike when I bought it. They are still in excellent condition. As far as the chicken strips... It's Ohio. Enough said. When I lived in California, we use to hit the mountains up at LEAST 3 times a week. I had NO chicken strips then, but on this flat land... Yes, there will be big fat furry chickens with me on just about every ride.1) I don't care if you only owned the bike for 1 day, you should know what brand tires are on your ride.2) I have a VROD and my chicken strips are nowhere near that big, and I just moved from OH last month...

2wheels>4 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I slide my shit sideways so often I have gotten used to it. I just wrote it off to a varying combination of my tires and my technique. My rear is getting a bit bald now, its a bias ply instead of radial, and I think sometimes I just give it a bit too much throttle and/or get sloppy body position. Either way, I just relax and ease of the "go" handle whenever I feel it breaking loose and keep riding. (my tire pressure is the only thing I can assure you is correct...) So, will this stop happening so much when I swap the tires for radials, or am I just a throttle hungry, backwards leaning squidball? (note: it was happening most often when I was accelerating from a stop around a corner, such as at stoplights. It happens less now that I stay off the throttle just a bit on those turns and I dropped my tire pressure down to 30psi, but once in a while I get into the gas at the apex and it still wants to slide on me a bit.) Also worth noting is that I make 100+ftlbs of torque at 3k rpm on the v-twin, and I learned to ride on a I4 motor that peaks at 7-8k rpm, so it has also crossed my mind that I might just be dealing with the difference in character between two different types of motor. (or more accurately, two motors which have vastly different power output characteristics.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Glad you got it figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangBruhY Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I haven't had a chance to really ride it since then. I might go hit some back roads after work. Maybe I'll call some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
