That's up to you matey It doesn't tak me very long (least that's wot wor lass sayz mind you she should friggin know, bicycle) a few miles, fight a few slides and once you've had it over and scrubbed the mould release agent off your'e sorted. Mind a word of warning I'm a :mad: :retard: when it comes to swinging a leg over a bike, I think a lot of people take it easy for shock horror about 50 mile or so :eek: not much good to a mad bastard like me I can't stand going slow :lol: :lol:

Whats wrong with a bit of front brake and rear wheel spin accompanied with a bit of leaning the bike over.

Scrubs the new rear tyre a treat.
Original R1 - Ohlins Damper, Goodridge Brake Hoses, Rad Guard, Yoshi Can and Personalised Numberplate. I don't need anything else changed!

I pal they're not cheap. The only way to make them last is to short shift through the box then lay your power down when you're at speed. Iv'e tried all ways to make them last and still go quick, hard compound you get wheelspin and slides so they wear out, soft compound you get grip then more grip and they wear out, both compounds at about the same rate. :nod:
From the formula;
Pb=lom
Performance bike = lot's of money :eek:

Are those really red tyres??? :retard: or are my eyes funny???
friend in the tyre business says if you havent scubbed em in by 100 miles you should be in a car!!! And have to agree with Yoda 36 front 38 rear, has worked perfect on all my bikes that weigh in around the 200kg mark.
Give it some beans!!!!

Just back from a blast around the twisties. :D
Thought I would go with what everyone else thought and put 36psi in each tyre.
It was still twitchy until the tyre was warm and then it was fine, flicking faster through bends.
All I need now is a new front tyre for the summer :crybaby:

Tyre pressures should always be checked when the tyres are cold. As for on/off the ground, not a clue - can you be bothered to hoick the beastie onto stands just to check? I certainly couldn't! :lol:
