Hyosung GT250R mods on a budget

[sapperj]

Well those Shnkos provide some interesting moments, Riding to Palmy from welly this arvo, hit a few wet spots and while doing a passing move, hit some diagonal white lines in the other lane and got a grove on lol, I dunno if it is the Shitkos or if all tyres get loose at times.... but yeah the things have a tendancy to feel unstable at times, I am running the factory recomanded preasures but want to go up a pound or two just to see if it makes a differance. My guess is the koreans factor the average solo rider to weigh in around 65 >70 kg ( luv those asian ckicks too ) not fat kunts like me 105K lol

It's the shinkos. It takes either a lot of bravery or a lot of stupidity to provoke a quality tyre such as Michelin Pilots into doing that.

It was such a fucking relief getting onto quality tyres, and took me months to just GO and trust them, especially in the wet.

Well after 12000k the Shitkos have finally got to be replaced.
Bike was just serviced and the Rear tyre is below the legal limit.

Can not get the Pilot Road 2's and am going to try out the Perilli Sport Demons.

Any of you ridden these tyres before?

Pretty sure the 250 rims are the same as the 650 rims, and you can get michelins for the 650.

But the pirellis should be fine.

The 650 rear wheel is different to the 250 rear.

Both the 250 and 650 front rims are 96.5mm across the widest part.

The 250 rear rim is 121.5mm, and the 650 rim is 135mm.

I know the 650 front rim will fit perfectly on the 250, coz I tried it. I haven't tried the 650 rear rim on the 250, but I can't imagine it will be much work to make it fit. The sprocket will need changing. I don't know if the sprockets are a straight swap.

But if anyone is bold enough to try it, perhaps all you need is a new 650 rim, and then you have a much better range of tyres to choose from.

The BT45 on mine seems alright

Sport demons will outperform you hands down on the road, if you are riding at a competitive pace on the track they will wear pretty quick. But you need to be really boogying..

I had Pirelli Sport Demons on a CBR250 I took from Christchurch to Whakatane.

Not once did I lose faith in them, and they were getting worked fairly hard on some of the sections of road.

Do it.
