New Tyres for the R6

[chazhead]

Cliff, iirc your R6 had a slightly different front tyre profile to to all the other 600's when it was new. Mine use to feel quite odd when the front started to square off, I think anything would make the front feel better, I doubt it's down to the Bridgestones specifically.

I've never really rated Dunlops... except the ones on my racebikes, but then thats because there's only Dunlop and Avon makes race compound tyres in 18 inch sizes.

IIRC - With the profile change on the front, you need to check front mud guard clearance.

Aye, the original shape R6's had 120/60's iirc and other 600's at the time were on 120/70's.

Out of a group of eight people lapping a damp ring together (at the same pace and on the same line) only 2 weren't complaining of have little slides in the greasy conditions. Both wee on big v twins (one Buell one 996), both were on Pilot Power 2CTs. I've not tried the Pures yet but I'd buy another set of the Power 2CTs tomorrow if I needed them, but they last so well i don't.

You need Renns, you do.
