Avus_Bub Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Well, I made it back in one piece from Brands Hatch this evening despite a couple of colleagues winding me up about binning it all day My first two sessions were a bit rusty to say the least but I started to get the hang of it again later on I've been running Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's for about a month and I've got to say they are amazing on the road! But,despite me taking a bit of air from the tyres the back end seemed to be moving about a bit and wasn't exactly inspiring much confidence I took a bit more air from the rear tyre and things settled down a lot. I rode home without touching the tyres and will check them cold tomorrow - I'm guessing about 30psi F&R Now for the pic's............... A nice one in the pit lane. My apologies to you all, I didn’t get a chance to wash the bike over the weekend and it does have the odd fly s**t on the bodywork BUB BIG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I should'da let more out the front!!! You're right, you've let yourself down showing us that filthy dirty bike of yours! Fecking good job you aint seem my XR. If it weren't for the rust it wouldn't have a frame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 22psi??!!! HOT!! Sounds way low to me..... Did you just let them down and then go out on track? I checked them tonight and the rear is 30psi on the dot. I couldn't be arsed to do the front as it meant turning the wheel and taking the disclock and chain off - I reckon the same. I measured 35.5 hot (rear), straight in the pit lane after a cool down lap. So I reckon 30psi on track cold or 35-36 hot (or as hot as can be) I forgot how much of a buzz track riding is, I really want to hire a bike next time out though. It's hard giving your beloved 10 tenths, especially when I highsided there a few years back....... Here's another one for you Sneaky. If you look closely there's a couple of blobs of chain lube on the left can BUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
