I truly don't care....
remember to remove those Ti valves also....
I did not read the entire thread but this is what I think. If you do not plan to ride hard, excellerate quick, ect, use the tire you have. When you get a new tire, go with the Michelin Pilot road 2, I got 10600 out of my rear and 9100 out of the front. They are great tires, do good in the water and are plenty sticky for gap riding. Good luck and see ya at the bash.

Ok guys...geez..
I think Gary was talking about the guys who run around here saying they dont use their rear brake and they drained the fluid etc...blah blah.
That kind of nonsense makes me nauseous...
Obviously BA, you know a rear brake is important because you know what youre doing with a motorcycle. So you arent in that crowd he was talking about.
I have heard nothing but good about the pilot roads..amazing tire for the money!

Without a functional rear brake...you will never be allowed on the track
you haven't convinced them of your theory yet?

No worries mate,
I'll be setting my pressure at around 38 for some riding. I worked for car dealers for 10 years. I can't tell you how many people tried to run max pressure they saw on thier sidewalls in thier car tires.
Bit worn?
When the tire is showing wear bars the tire is worn out regardless of where the wear bars are showing.
None here would recommend someone ride with out a helmet, yet everyone seems to have no problem with recommending using a worn out tire.
My tires hit the wear bars, I replace them.
cheers

GOOD LORD !!! I saw this thread, then saw 4 pages, and was wondering what happened in here. I thought I was at another forum for a little while.
I think 42 is kinda high, for the Gap (THAT"S JUST MY OPINION !!)
and I have (not too much here) heard people that say "You use your back brakes, on a sportbike, you need to learn how to ride"
When I went to buy brake pads for my bike the guy asked "why are you gettin pads for the back, you don't use them on a Busa .....do you" ?

You've got plenty of ( chicken planks ) to work with 
I want to get this straight.... tire manufactures test every model car, truck, motorcycle their tire can possible be installed on.
So.. Firestone for example makes a car tire and tests every car made their tire will fit?
Or they just tell the car manufacture what PSI to post in there manual and on the door sticker?
The car manufacture has no input on the recommended tire pressure?
Same as motorcycles as you state. Suzuki posts the PSI for all of there bikes based on what the tire manufacture tells them?
Boy, did I have it wrong. You sure know your stuff.
