Sweet F/F i got to pop in and see kerry as well, txt me when you're headed there and i might be able to meet you there, chances are it's a 180/55 on the back of yer 6, i got a 180 on the rear at the mo, i know there's all this you shouldn't run a 180 on the TL should be a 190 but meh, whatever's cheap suits me fine. Catch ya

I have been oftered a set of Dragon Supercorsa, cheap 370+ fitted, brand new. ....

Are these a good tire, i ride all weathers remember

Someone must be dumping cheapo Pirelli SuperCorsas on us or they are fakes made in China. I got a good price to stick a Dragon SC on the rear for the last track day. It was great on the track, extra grip and drive out of corners BUT be extra careful when wet or cold. It'll dump you quick as if cold. 190s weren't available for some reason. I will try a SC on the front when the current Diablo gives up but might go back to a Diablo on the rear.(save some $$ on wear). Seems changing the fr tyre improves turn in far more than changing the rr profile anyway. Give em a try Cajun, I'm pleased I did.

Cheers Mark, i not expecting it to last long. but at that price its a cheap go at pirelli tires, and also i think it help my riding alot, knowing i got a really sticky tire, might help push a bit harder. Once the rear tires i might put a diablo or something on the rear something little harder

Hey Bruce - I'd read somewhere that the 190 although original spec, makes for dodgy handling on the TL1000S, combined with that rotary damper. Apparently the 180 makes it much better....

but hey, what do I know. I don't own one.

I've got a 180-55/17 SC2 that's done a couple of track days. It's got lots of life left in it. PM me if you're interested

[750Y]

Hey Cajun, what sorta mileage do you think you'll wind up getting from the rear 014?

[Cajun]

750y i done 4500 at moment, i think once i come back from wellington i should be over 6000kms by then it be getting to squred off for me, front is still find, its just this damn communting i am doing 250kms a week, on straight roads, backwards and forwards to work.

Hard to say celticno6, with the 180 on the TL turns a shitload faster, but with the 190 it kinda quiets the bike down in the responivness of it all, more stable, i rode mine without a steering damper on a 190 don't think i'd use a 180 without it on though.

I'm only going by stories i've heard that the TL's are more prone to losing the back an highsiding with a 180 on, i wouldn't know havn't done that yet.....

I'm not really the right kind of rider to prove better or worse of it all, i'm not slow but not so fast i'm going to be noticing half a turn of rebound or so, i've heard that people running ohlins in the rear are just gobsmacked at the difference it does to the bikes, me personally i'd rather save my coin ride it as it is and buy me a gixxer 750k4 that'll do everything better than an up-graded TLS outta the crate.
