So I have some fresh rubber mounted and I already feel bad because I know what's going to happen on Saturday (MSR Houston trackday with Fastline) these tires will not be pretty for long. But damn they look good and the sticker saying "official MOTOGP class tire" makes it even prettier :laugh

I am going to keep a very detailed account (going to try to at least) of the PSI cold/off the warmers/off the track and give feedback in this thread.

I'm running the R10s with medium compound up front and a hard EVO type 2 rear. The baseline PSI will be 24 rear 30 front and coming off the track I will drop both 5 psi and go from there.

Enough talk, here's pics:













Anxiously awaiting Saturday morning! I'll be camping out at the track Friday night so I can avoid traveling the morning of. Supposed to be one of the hottest weekends so far this year. I have a feeling the track will be riding fast very early on.

Thanks! You have good taste lol

I need to safety wire the damn thing, I have springs securing it in random places on the bike lol

 

[hellonearth]

Haha yeah unfortunately had to break the wiring on one if the o2 plugs but its quick fix.

I'll be running the R10's for the first time at the races at TWS later this month. A friend is giving me a take off rear for Friday practice so I can get used to it. I've heard people get chatter out of the front, so I might put the front on towards the end of the day to see how it performs so I'm not running blind for the races on Sunday.

I have a front take off you can have to get a little bit more experience.. I swapped the full set because my rear was done.

It's a good thing your bike is slow

You know, since it's an 08 :

Yep! I haven't passed an 09+ since purchasing it :laugh

 

[WCCoffey]

B stones?

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

When you decide to run some real tires I'll give you a set of my pirelli race take offs for 100$

Wouldn't be too hard to pass my bike at the moment :hmmm: :sigh:




Calling Schooley out right now before a "I got mad skillz at the track" thread.

Cody, the last thing the 09 chassis needs is more front end chatter. Good luck with those stones. Lol

 

[WCCoffey]

BTW, schooley, I am the guy with the black/white 09+ that was pitted with you and cody at TWS

I don't always safety wire my bikes...


...but when I do, I use $100 in drill bits.

How many heat cycles are on it?

Oh, it's on:2fingerlol:

I can almost guarantee TWS will have 2 waves though

Probably have about 5-6 heat cycles, if your running super fast times you might not be able to get a full day out of them, but they have life left in them. Shoot me a pm with your cell and I'll send some pics

Cody, at your pace I wouldn't run that tire.

Just my opinion though

I might run it in the morning to see what it's like.
