tyre

saw this on michelin's facebook site, they will be bringing out the Pilot road 5 (didn't see a date though). Now let's see how I can extend the life of the OEM tyre (until these come out). Michelin used to be the best tyre in the wet, I've ridden on the Pilot road, PR2, PR3 & PR4 and...

Just a couple of questions as I don't have the bike or manual yet. I take it tyre pressure are the usual 36f/42r? Oil 10/40 semi synthetic? cheers guys.

Hi all if I increase the rear tyre profile to 55 is it likely it cause me problems with the abs or TC as the circumference of the tyre would be bigger ? Thanks daryl

As I am seriously considering fitting a 170/60 rear tyre, I thought I would email Yamaha on the subject. Here is what they replied: "Thank you for your email, in relation to your Yamaha MT-07. We can advise, that we can only recommend the tyres sizes as stated in your Owner’s Manual, which...

I rode down to the MotoGP in Misano, mostly alone and off-piste at the beginning of September. On my casual way back, sticking to an alpine route and country D roads of France, I paused in Auxerre for a reasonable lunch...then set off on my way past Sens and Saint Clement on the D606 when I felt...

As soon as I get a new bike at the first tyre change I always have alloy 90 deg valves fitted. If you have never had them strongly recommend that you get them. Just makes life so much easier when testing and inflating the tyres.

Wife bought me this about 2 years back used it 3 times 2 on cars one on the bike with 100% success, does what it says on the tin, this is the bike tyre I just took off, it's done about 4,000 over that time it as not lost a lb in pressure, same with the car. The camera picks...

I happen to have a new 190/50 Dunlop Roadsmart 2, which I got for another bike that I've since got rid of, and I was wondering if it might fit the MT-09. Looking at the OEM Dunlop 214 180/55 rear tyre there doesn't seem to be a lot of clearance to fit a wider one, so initially I thought...

..that punctures never happen on worn out tyres? Just 200 miles on the bike and a flat rear tyre. Bugger. That's £100 I could have done without spending. Still, back on the road now. Having the billet chain adjusters fitted made changing the rear wheel much easier.

So after taking my temporarily repaired tyre (thankyou Mr 2 inch nail!) to get a permanent fix, I was advised that the wear on my stock tyres (Dunlop D214s) was more or less at the tread line and would likely be illegal in a few hundred miles.. so I took it to originally just replace that tyre...

When replacing your front wheel on your ABS MT after its been away for a new tyre fitted: DO NOT think you have lost a wheel spacer. DO NOT rush indoors, fire up the laptop to look at the NON ABS wheel diagram. (It has two spacers). DO NOT go back out to the garage swearing and waste half an...

Just have to say what a great bunch of folk these are. Have no connection with them but have been in for service, warranty work and new tyre recently- didn't buy the bike off them but I'm sure you won't find a friendlier dealership in Lancashire.... Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

Evening, will need to replace the tyres soon. Currently running the S20's, I did try Bridgestone BT023's the other year, and they caused a massive speed wobble. I spoke to the Bridgestone technicians about it at the time, and their response was as they dont recommend it for the MT09, they took...

I have just checked the wheel alignment on my bike and discovered that it was slightly wrong. I hasten to point out that, since buying it from Gaz2212, this is the first and only thing thing that I have found to be (slightly) wrong. Fortunately, GAZ had fitted Gilles swing arm chain tensioners...

I agreed with the sentiments expressed by "Gregjet" on 03/04/2015. I have always felt that Yamaha have opted for style over function with the big fat tyres fitted to the MT-07. I think the bike would feel much more nimble if narrowed tyres were fitted. Even on the original rims, it might be...

Hi, I'm looking for a Dunlop rear tyre as mine is worn but the front is still ok. I know some of you took them off as you didn't get on with them, but I'm skint due to a spell out of work so will put up with them for a little longer if I can find a barely worn tyre. So whats in your garage...

I have squared off my rear tyre, being a new rider I have only the last few months started to really use the sides more, but with that and some good motorway mileage I am getting close to the limit on the top of the tyre ( after only 2600 mile) I have probably about 500 mile left on the tops so...

Hi fellow MT owners, I've been floating around on the outside of this forum since I bought my Purple bike a year ago. I've now completed 7000 happy miles on a bike which always puts a smile on my face. The OE Michelin Pilots as fitted to my bike seem to have hardly any wear on them. I've heard...
