Suspension upgrade = Improved tyre wear

[davebullet]

Fitting Race Tech emulators, Traxxion Dynamics damper rods and Ohlins linear wind springs in the front of that SV is the very best money you could ever spend on it. Its almost like a life changing event on that model.

I don't doubt you. We may not be keeping the SV as Mrs. B is going for her full and likely to choose her own big bike.

The Speed triple is a keeper for me, so I have a 2011 goal to visit your fine workshop and have the necessary suspension work done. I just need to disguise it in the bank accounts!

Tyre whore

True that but y'know... Gotta try em all before you find the one golden tyre..
I will also note like you the tyre wear is pretty even without the flat spots but then again i'm not 100% sure it's not down to the different gradients of rubber compounds in the Power Pures not helping that out too, after all that was one of the reasons that I chose to try the Pures because of the revision to tyre over the Pilot Power 2ct's.
What's worse though is that there's at least a couple more i'd like to try, the Metzler M5 Interact and the Michelin Road 3's (?) when they hit the market.

Jury is out wether the upgrades (Racetech front end and Ohlins rear shock) from CKT have made any significant improvements to tyre life. As Robert pointed out before maybe the tendency to ride quicker is off setting things a bit but to be honest I don't think i'm riding that much quicker.

No I think that was Robert's attempt at being funny.
