Pilot Road 3 cupping

Yup, we'll see how we go. Fitted the Ohlins front shock the other day and have just got that dialled into the correct sag and preferred damping. Rear is still a little firm, hopefully have the PR3's fitted Sat afternoon.

Rear likely needs a spring swap to get recommended sag out of it. As delivered there's no possible way to get to ohlins' recommended settings. Just never got around to getting Mr Taylor to change it.

On that note, why is the paint on Ohlins springs so soft/easy to chip off? The rear one has had a hiding.

Pilot Road 3 will cup, as will any other 2CT tyre, on a heavy bike. Poor suspension will only exaggerate this trait. Must say, have run Power Pure, Pilot Road 2, now Pilot Road 3. My opinion on PR3 is that I doubt it'll outlast the PR2, but the grip from the PR3 is top notch. Also find that PR3 feels happier with a bit more pressure in it than recommended by bike manufacturer. Oh, and PR3 can handle a bit of playtime on the racetrack too....

Well i have just cracked 6k on the pr3's (well almost) and that includes 2 days of the superbike school and a couple of sessions at a trackday and the tyres have held up superbly and still have plenty of tread left.

So far extremely impressed with them and would recommend.
