tyre

Hi, So the previous owner has installed this 17" rear wheel with currently 180 width tyres.. ive seen this wheel conversion before on other vmaxxes. Unfortunately, i dont know what type/model this wheel is, was actually wondering if someone here has the same wheel conversion and if its...

Anyone fitted this combo?(stock rims) Impressions? Thanks

Hi all, I have been looking at front tires for my 2001 (as I found mine is 10yrs old) With the new technology I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on a fairly sticky tire. I ride fairly aggressively (sometimes). I live in Vancouver, Canada & the weather can vary considerably, so hot or cold...

Anyone know this tyre,looks ok for the money. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorbike-tyres-Full-Bore-USA-M66-Tour-King-Rear-170-80-15-77H-/131701834055?hash=item1eaa0a8147:g:p8wAAOSwYGFUrQzj

I went to the isle of man TT last week. The max had a good few hard runs and defended her honour admirably against all manner of crotch rockets. But my mate then asked a question about his rear tyre (also on a gen one max, and both of us running 17 inch rears and battlax tyres, albeit different...

:punk: hello all, I'm getting some funky handling, instability at higher speeds, my front tyre seems to have taken a pounding from the run to Burt Munroe, about 4000ks. Hard roads in the South Island, built on mountains with quartz in the mix. The bt30 has taken a flattened triangle shape...

G'Day, I have a side car on my Vmax 1200 and was wondering if anyone knows what size car tyre will fit. Thanks Derek

hi there I need to replace my rear tyre .I have avon venom 150/90 15 .I've heard you can put a metzeler ME880 170/80 15 on instead as long as you take out the washer on the right hand side. Has anybody tried this ? I think a fatter tyre does look cooler. and if it does fit has it affected the...

Two questions....... 1. There is much talk of fitting a 170/80 15 rear tyre instead of the standard 150, what about a 160 tyre - has anyone tried that size and if so what exact size was used. 2. Can the standard rear shocks be taken apart - I would like the springs re-coated if possible...

ok , i recently made my 17 wheel exchange. i bougth max daddy rear 17 from ufo . nice clean desing. john told me that the most popular tyre in the U.S was avon storm av56. I never used this brand before. nice tyre . The only thing is from the left side the tyre slightly touches the swing arm...

Now i currently run the stock bridgestone G525/526s on my Max , im more than happy with them . Replaced the rear not so long ago but now i find out that Bridgestone here in New Zealand have a new supplier so now i cant get the G525 for the front . They do have a Bridgestone R 110/90-18 G510 HTL...

Today took the day off work , weather outside wasnt the best but stuff it . Me and the missus decided to head to the coast for lunch (120kms return) , as it was cold and wet we rugged up and took off . A couple of times the front wheel started to slide and its not much funny especially with a...

Found on www.vmaxxers.net, a new development by one of the forum members

Had to go for a quick trip to the post office yesterday. Sat on the bike and wondered why I had grown an extra couple of inches and the rear shocks were so stiff and unwelcoming. My new Pirelli was as flat as a tack. The culprit was a thin sliver of metal that looked like an off cut from a...

hi guys i am so mad my new front tyre was just delivered this morning and its not a 110/90/18 its a 100/90/18 would it make a real diffrance to the handling if i fit the 100/90/18? sorry for the dum question but i am just up thanks johnboy

Can someone tell me how to remove the slippery moulding wax from the tread area of a new tyre? There must be a way to prep a new tyre prior to setting it on tarmac. We are always told to take it easy for a few hundred kms so that this stuff wears off but it takes a while to get it off the...
