[QUOTE="Txoria, post: 775659, member: 20935"] fjrchooser....... not wanting to sound a "know all" but new tyres are dangerous for the first few miles...... as per this info on one website...... [COLOR=#FF0000]Running in Motorbike tyres[/COLOR] New tyres owe their shiny appearance to the products used for removing them from the mould - a lubricant called "mould release wax". This lubricant makes a new tyre extremely slippery. This is why it is vital to gently run-in the tyre for 30 to 50 Km - enough time for normal use to eliminate the mould release wax from the tyre's surface, thus enabling it to achieve its normal grip. During the first few dozen kilometres it is advisable to ride gently, and to ride as if you were on a slippery surface: do not accelerate, brake or change direction suddenly and take corners gradually. Let's be careful out there. Txoria [/QUOTE]
