Tyres for gn

[motobull]

Hi Gang

Awesome site- well i'm another newbie with a GN250[sorry]:wari:
Actually apart from being gutless it is good fun and I love being out there riding. My question is are there better tyres that you can get for it that will improve its handling, It has the standard made in china factory tyres at the moment. Any help with brands/models and good places in AKL to get them would be great.

cheers

well i must be a crap rider but that front gn tyre in rain without being run in didn't bode well with the floor i can say (twice in 3 days) could ring coleman's they are the suzuki dealer so would have better tread tyres i would have thought

I was told by someone at umm Sh*t i can remember :pinch:
Anyway Pirelli tyres. :niceone:

[cowpoos]

shit mate...your standard tyres will out handle that bike...you could glue a 1000 used condoms into a circle and mount them on the bike and it will still out handle that bike... just start saving for your next bike

I'm buying one of these on the weekend, any problems with yours yet apart from the tyres? just wondering what i'm getting myself in for. Its for getting round town on so i'm not worried about speed really.

Twimke the GN is an awesome bike for learning on, it is greeat around town so if thats what you are going to be doing it is perfect, not a lot of grunt on the open road but id oes what its designed to do well.

:2thumbsup thanks for the info motobull, and thanks for the manual thehollowmen, damn good of you :spudbooge

motobull, give you a buzz when i get something to ride on :soon:

[thehollowmen]

I never found any problem with the tyres on the 04 year, and those tyres handled pretty well in snow and rain.. I did a lot of winter riding.

Hey i just converted it to a .pdf file would you like me to upload it to the same site?:apint: :eek5:

[Mr. Peanut]

Youd bend the front forks with anything stickier but What the hey? why not stick some supacorsas on there? Some Ohlins shocks, a high compression kit, titanium valves :beer: .... bleh

[Holy Roller]

Try some Dunlop Arrow Max tyres more than what you will need, served me well on the old bike.

The person who was going to pdf it for me (but is now me) had done some work and indexed it all by topic and page and all sorts of nifty things.

Upload it if you want and I'll keep working on this one.
