tire

I've got an '03 with an 18x5.5" rear with a Bridgestone 180/55 sport-touring radial, and an almost-matching Bridgestone 110/80 front radial. While many will say that a 110/80 works fine on the stock 18x2.15 front wheel, the fact is that a 110/80 radial is designed for at least a 3" wheel and...

Well, I used a paper towel lightly wetted with silicone spray lube to apply silicone to the new rear tire bead and the rim. Slipped the first bead on the rim totaly by hand! Slipped the last bead on 3/4 way by hand and very little persuasion to get the rest with tire irons. Easiest tire mount...

I am not a "fair weather rider. Rain or shine I'm going to ride. Usually if I know I am going to be rained on I will take my Bandit that has PR3's on it, but it is currently going threw some upgrades that are taken a little longer than anticipated. Currently my max has an Avon road rider on the...

I changed my worn out metzeler 880 to michelin commander II and now bike "wobbles" around 40-45mph, it feels like its up and down movement? I can take my hands of the bars when it occurs. I think it made this sometimes with old tire too, but now it is all the time at that speed. Lower or higher...
