No wonder your tyre bloke drops other work to sort you out.

Have you ever put Nitrogen rather than Air in them ?

Once you've seen someone and sorted the correct spring rate for your weight (to set the ideal sag), then check out the tyre wear guide I sent you to help diagnose the problem with tyre wear.

Can you adjust the TC on a non HP4 RR? Are you getting tears?

I'm getting all sorts of weird stuff. The bike is in slick so the TC is virtually non existent, it's me being fat again that's buggered it all up. I'll hand it back to KAIS and ask them to do it, they're better than me, as I'll just hit it with a hammer.

I've always "stuck" with the recommended pressures unless on track...always advised customers to do the same.

I use Scottish air in mine.

Now the tyres are fatter, and smell vaguely of cholesterol and heroine.
