that's a nifty little program

thanks

 

My 1150R ran best at the top end of the pressure range; 36 front 42
rear. You can get a very grippy set-up running six psi lower at each
end but it reduces tyre life.

Great bike; wish I still had it.

Hey Will,

Factory settings are as follows:

Solo Front 31.3 Rear 35.5
Two up Front 35.5 Rear 38.4
Two up with Luggage Front 35.5 Rear 41.2

Enjoy,

Cute program, but of the 5 road bikes in the shed here only 2 are covered.

complain to dunlop

or buy bikes that are on the chart

 

The Guzzi LeMans V11 isn't listed (no 1100cc Guzzi's are), the Suzuki
GSX1100G isn't listed and the Kawasaki GPX250 isn't listed (ok, I could
forgive the 2 bigger bikes they aren't that common, but bloody GPX250's
are everywhere

Not in the UK they're not!

 

No K75 (or K100) either.

 

I'm sure BTH exported about 3 container loads of them!

G-S

 

Or K1100 or R100

 

There was an R100 GS but it was listed as 100cc...

 

[waits impatiently...]
SO WHAT IS IT?!!!!!

 

Clem doesn't know what Tim's new bike is...

<Nelson Voice> HAHA!

So, for those who aren't BMW aficionados, is that a R100GS ? A similar
age BMW that's been converted (it doesn't seem to be as tall as the GS'
I've seen but it does have the dirt bike style hand guards and front guard
