Very interesting about the Dunlops. I specifically asked Cycletreads for advice and the Dunlops didn't come up in the list of suggested options. I'll go back and find out why.

Here's what the vendor shared with me:
"The Dunlop GT501 is a good tire but I talked to our mechanic (a tire expert) and he told me that the BT45’s are a grippier tire than the Dunlop with a bit newer technology. Also, the distributor does not have any Dunlop rear tires in stock and have listed them as a “closeout” item on the computer, which basically means that they will not be getting any more.
My ranking stays the same with the BT45’s being my recommendation."
Hmm.
Comparing the two:

Has anyone looked at putting pipes on their 08 ninja ??
What brand pipes and from where??
and if so did you look at getting the carbs re-jetted and what new air filters would you look at putting in ??

I'm taking it one step at a time, but will be looking at exhaust at some point. The problem I see is that I'm relatively happy with the factory setup and I don't necessarily want to screw up a good thing.
I'm just as interested in hearing about the top rated mechanics who know carb tuning inside out as I am in hearing about the specific brands, options, etc. When (if) I get work done, I want it to be done right the first time.
Hmm.

dude, you know the gear indicators are called idiot boxes? quite a few of my mates had a real good chuckle at me when i said "See its in 1st now" on my GN250
Good review dude will be pointing some of my new rider mates here.
You can't save the fallen, direct the lost or motivate the lazy.

Good job on buying the green meanie.
Green is waaay faster
After 8000kms i've only found false neutral a few times. A few people seem to be finding it a lot. Whether this is inconsistency in the mechanics or different technique, i dunno.
I'm loving my bike too. Bought it at the end of last summer so looking forward to ripping it up in the warm weather.
Considering some Sport Demons but i think i'm gonna wait until i've taken the stocks down a bit more.
The Dunlops i have found to be not very confidence inspiring.
But, having said that, they haven't failed me yet (touch wood) and those chickenstrips are steadily shrinking. They are perfectly capable for cruising around commuting and taking it easy, i reckon.
Will be interesting to feel the difference the Pirellis make.

oh and, i agree that a new pipe would be a bit of a waste of money.
It'll never be fast in a straight line.
And no pipe is gonna make it sound "impressive".
That's not what this bike is for.
But, each to their own.

GPRa10's are the absolute best tyre you can put on this machine. the choice of tyre for F3 racing. Stick like your filthy yoghurt to your partners hair i'm tellin' ya!
But if your looking for more touring balance then it's not really in that game...
...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.
