    I am not starting a tire thread..but..

    My Shinkos are nearing the end of their life. Does anyone use the Bridgestone exedra max bias tires and if so what is your opinion of them? The Metzelers are crazy expensive and the Dunlops do not seem too popular on this website. Thanks. http://www.bridgestone.com/products/...xedra/max.html

    Front end wobble and best tire option

    I have only a minor issue at 40 -45 mph and the front end has been checked out and tightened. My question is, do you think the fly screen and backrest contribute to it? Second what is the best tire option for a stock vmax. I have never been a fan of the Dunlops. Thanks Hwystar1

I don't really...

    Free spin on rear tire?

    I tried spinning my rear wheel (on center stand) while in neutral, and found it didn't turn without significant effort. Even after spinning it hard, it wouldn't make a full revolution. Is this typical? I just had new tires put on a few weeks ago, and had never actually spun it before. Just...
