Hi Blade coming next weekend, went for 2009 Repsol Rep, with Leo Vince GP pro can, Repsol hugger, and seat cover etc (pictures to follow) Now I know this question has been asked lots of time, but I will need to fit a new set of tyres, to the bike. I don't do track days, but want a good grip tyre, what do you recommend ? Also are the standard batteries crap ? Ta rewy
Sportsmarts all the way, had them on since spring and love them, good grip, good warm up time and give plenty of mileage Battery wise, never had a problem with mine and its coming up to 3 years old now
Would give Pirelli Rosso 2 a go, I have had two track days and lots of road use, loads of grip and being dual compound they lasting well too
I have stuck with what Honda fitted from new. Bridgestone Battlax S20 Hypersport great tyre in wet and dry have a look at Tyre reviews, tests and ratings | the online tyre guide lots of people offer their experience on there
Do a search OP, taz been Done 2 Death this 'What Tyre' lark! (Grip & Mileage = Sportsmarts or PR3's, Ultimate Grip for a Road Tyre plus a few Track Days = Pirelli Rosa Corsa's) ..............................sorry, couldn't stop me self!
OP, the standard batteries are small. It's worth getting an Optimate etc. Also, another +1 for SportSmarts or Metzeler M5 Interacts.
Battery wise there fine I have on a number of occasions not started the bike for over 6 weeks due to being away with work and come back and started up first time with no problem but if leaving longer I do use an optimate
31 pages of tyre suggestions on this sticked thread should help http://1000rr.co.uk/mods-upgrades-accessories-products/309.htm
Yeah PR3's for touring and high mileage, Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas for fast road and track and Michelin 2ct's for a cheaper fast road/track use
