Last night I got home from a 3 1/2 hour ride home in the pissing rain. It was to say the least a fucking nerve shocking experience for sure. I don't trust this bike at all in the rain. It hydro planes like a water skier...With no wind shield and at night with a shorty helmet and a stock headlight - I was taking my life in my hands.
The other two guys I was riding with left me way behind, I couldn't keep up in fear I was going to loose control or not be able to stop in time if I had to brake fairly quickly.
My question is how do you guys feel about riding the Max in the rain and what tips if any do you have for me. ( is there any ! ) other than...
windshield
fullface
better light
slow the hell down !
What seem to be the best tires for the rain and the Max. :bang head:
I run a Dunlop tire now. Im not familiar with other but these tires suck
Thanks.
Maybe I should have posted in the tire section but I want to hear more about your wet weather rides. Do you feel the same as me about this ? I'm a fairweather rider - now I know why.
