Bleeding forks

that is simply a dumbass move to rebuild the forks & ship it without fork oil. now you have to do the work all over again.

Dunlop Q2 v. Michelin PP2CT

yeah, i never had the 016 slide out on me, but knowing that i sometimes was leaning more than the tire had rubber for was a very uneasy feeling.

Dunlop Q2 v. Michelin PP2CT

Took the tires to the canyon again. Ran the same 36/35 pressures (no guage to reduce them) but it was only 60 degrees out so I should have been running about 10 lbs lower. I ran the tires harder than I had previously and again felt more confident than I had with the Michelins. Turn in wasn't as sharp initially but once they're on their sides it falls in. Again, the tires handled the corners beautifully. Nice and solid through out the...

You can try adding oil little by little you will need around 450 ml/fork. You can stop at 400ml and ride around a little to see if you like it or not. Simply put if you put more oil you will have less air gap and toward the bottom it will be stiffer acts like a spring. Less air gap heavier spring more air gap softer spring. If you do not have the tools to get the spring out, try to add oil little by little than push the fork in and out 10-15...

You will have to pull the cap and spring to bleed the fork. plus you will need the spring out to correctly set oil height.

That'll work for temporary fix, but down the line its recommended to replace the tire. I've plugged my rear tire before and rode on it for a bit just fine, but its all about peace of mind so replace that sucker with a new tire as soon as you can afford it.

Those look nice but I want to see some reviews, if they're positive I'll get these once I use up my new Q2's. The one problem I had with the Pilot Powers was the grooves going all the way to the edge but they fixed that with this tire, same thing with the Dunlops.
I guess 2010 is another huge leap forward in tire technology. Good for us.

What review did you get this information from?
I have been riding for a little of 2 years now. I have used the BT016's for as long as I can remember. But that was just for street and Palomar riding.
Never had an issue with the bt016...loved them.
But I had my first track day a few weeks ago and knew I needed to get some good track tires. So after watching a review on tires (It happened to...

Keep an eye out in the classifieds on here!! Tons of awesome deals. I always wanted an extra setof rims to throw some rain tires on, or some studded tires for the ice. Wheel swapping is a whole lot easier then tire swapping.

Well the 190 will make the bike sit a bit higher then a 180,, also the turn in is crap when your old tire is flattened off,, so switching to a new tire will have better turn in,,
but with that said,, the BT- 016's are the best tire for the street IMO,, Great turn and confidence inspiring, great grip,, would be a decent track day tire for the not so hard core
