Photos by Marty Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Once I get my stickers on they will look different anyway.Hurry up and get those stickers on you whore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood33 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I think I might be running the Dunlops this year. God, I hope finding the right suspension/geometry set up isn't a total nightmare with new forks/shock and new tire brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Ya Craig, stoping be such a tool shed and get your sponsor stickers on. Craig said the same thing about the pirelli's sidewalls when braking/turning in. That is the 1 thing I love about the Cup V fronts, and with raising my triple up/lower my forks at Jennings, I definitely noticed a stability improvement on my GSXR and didn't even add fork cap extenders yet.PS - I am awesome, the end.

candybluzx6 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I love the dunlops. I ran the stones and didnt care for how soft they was. This is y i i wouldnt go to pirellis. But i am slow so my opinion dont mean much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I see the dunlops for 344 at race tire service ( slick or dot) i cant find the Pirellis fo under 390Does that include shipping? And then you'll have to pay to have them mounted/balanced unless you can do it yourself. I don't recall seeing the Dunlop truck at the track at all last year? Does Todd sell them as well as Pirelli's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 You went flush with the top triple then?Yup, and dude, the difference was unreal, Brandon and Jinu helped with it, and really made a big tip in/steady ride through the turn. Gixxie750 even mentioned planing down the upper triple a little to help more vs. getting cap extenders.I still need to figure out suspension and if Im going to just get heavier springs front/rear to accomodate my weight or see how it goes. Shaving 6 seconds down there really helped my confidence for where I am with the current setup. But I have to get a new rear swingarm with spools, cannot move bike without them anymore, drives me nuts.And yep trackside Pirelli's from Todd = best deal for fastest tires.

TRMN8TR Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Todd sells both for 340Good to know. The new bike has Dunlop GPA's that came on it with lots of life left in them, as long as the guy didn't heat cycle them out by street riding on them. Should give me a chance to compare those to the Pirelli's and decide which I like better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candybluzx6 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 What do you guys think about running the super bike slicks (red stripes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm not sure if I'm baller enough to run slicks? Never tried them so can't really comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candybluzx6 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I heard u can get a lot of days out of the red stripes ( track day slick) but does anybody know how they hold up at a novice race day? I have been thinking of trying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hope you're going fast to run those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candybluzx6 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I thought they are for a slower group. I havnt out rode my Q2s yet so im not very fast. But ill be out to make sure u guys dont get last lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 SLICKS are never for the "slower group". You have to keep heat in those to get any life out of them. I remember last year dude was running slicks on his RC51 at Putnam, thing was shagged so bad after 2 sessions they told him it wasn't even safe. He was running about mid Int pace at best and it was GONE. Said it was brand new that AM and spent a ton on it.If you aren't running Adv times slicks just don't make sense to me at all. You need like Q2's, the new Mich tires that just came out, Stones(whatever series they would be), or Pirelli tires. Probably don't need race tires yet if you aren't outrunning your Q2's. Those are good tires, KTM's even rode them at the orange ride thing at Mid O last few years and were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
