Gixxer Tyre

<g>

 

Get Champ to run it in for you.

 

IME of going straight from 010 to 014 that pretty much sums it up.

 

?

 

NAHAY?

(hint: google is your friend).

 

Dah!!

 

Well normally I'd give it the usual, but they were pretty insistent.
And IAIAP I'm a bit of a newbie when it come to road tyres. IYSWIM

 

This has been discussed before on here at length. What *I* do is just
make sure I get it good and evenly warm, giving it more and more
stress over about 20ish miles. One heat cycle and it's good to go.

 

That's what I was looking for. Ta.

 

Hmmm...that's not a heading I'm looking for ;-)

 

Well, obviously your experience is your experience, and I'm not about
to tell you that you're wrong. However, with every new tyre I've had
in the last 10 years, all I've needed to do is get it up to
temperature. This can in fact be done in a lot less than 20 miles.

 

Except the last one which you seem keen for us to forget

 

I think I mention it more than anyone.

Anyway, the fact that I feel of within a mile supports, rather than
undermines my argument, I think.

Champ says...

014s don't take much scrubbing in. Following Champ's "Do as I say, not
as I do" advice, mine were about done in 20 miles or so.

 

I think the salient point here is the tyre had only done a 100yds.

 

BT45s don't take long either; about the time it takes to warm a biggish
air cooled twin: 20 minutes or so.

 

sweller says...

....and Champs arse did 50 of those

 

Nah Champ's right.

 

But they were hard yards.
