I thought I would post a quick review on the above mentioned tyre especially as they are so new and little information on them, firstly it?s not on an S1000RR but a 19 plate Superduke GT. On spirited road riding the tyres haven?t missed a beat, that is knee down lean angle and hard acceleration...

Just a little advice please, what cold track pressures should I be running for K3’s in the intermediate group on a ZX6R? I contacted Metzeler and they recommend 32 front and 38 rear which to me seems really high for track! I questioned there response and they responded by saying the K3’s are...

I’m bored and suffering serious bike withdrawal with all this bad weather, so I’m looking at my road bike which is predominantly used for track it has maybe 3mm maximum on the rear ( if not just under)on the right hand side, left has more as the circuits I’ve been on mainly right handed! My...

What are people’s thoughts on track days in the colder months? I want to try and get one more in before the winter sets in, so I am thinking of doing one within the next few weeks. It must be dry and I’ll be on Michelin Power RS on a ZX6 so no rider aids. I’m a little concerned of lean angle...

Well S1K has been traded in for a GS I?ve put 4000 miles on it in 6 months and it?s been an amazing experience but it?s time for a change, for some reason I can never keep sports bikes for any length of time this is my second S1K in three years! Blasted 650 miles on GS in 3 days and love it...

I currently have Metzeler Roadtec 01?s on with 3.5mm tread on the rear and 4mm on the front this is after 2000 autumn/winter miles the tyres have worn evenly as I generally only ride on twisty roads so they have not squared off. I?m about to head off to Europe for 4 days I?m unsure of the trips...

We are looking to go to Assen in a couple of weeks, we will head into Germany do do a few good roads then to Assen for Sunday. My bike is pretty standard except for Akrapovic GP slip which is not road legal should I put standard exhaust on for trip? Also do you need any special health insurance...

Apologies as I know this topic has been covered intensively! Today I finally got around to having a go at setting my DDC suspension on an 2018 model:- On the rear I set it at 10 mm and the menu says in between 8-12 mm so am I correct at thinking this is about right, I had full kit on and...

Just wondering if any of you use a bike dryer after washing your bike, I?ve never owned one. I will use my bike when there is salt on the roads so I always wash it after every use and I normally dry it with a cloth afterwards would a bike dryer maybe a quicker easier option and help to get any...

Just wondering how many people are still using there bikes? I'm going to try and rack up as many miles as possible over the bad months (within reason and only when its dry). In preparation I have ACF50'd the bike and stuck on some Metzeler Roadtec 01 and the bike gets a proper wash and dry after...

Well after almost 2.5 years of giving up my S1000RR I have now just bought an 18 plate, I test rode it today and I was just amazed at how good it was compared to how I remember my Gen 1, needless to say the test ride was all I needed to part ex my other bikes. I cannot remember the last time I...

Hello After owning an S1000RR I?m think of returning to the fold but as a second bike, I traded my last one for a R1200R and I?m really pleased with it however I miss the S1 so my dilemma is do I bite the bullet? I was looking at trading my bike for a new KTM Super Duke GT and test rode one...

I was just wondering what you guys think of your local BMW dealer, now I know there is a lot of negative comments on Coopers of Bolton which is my local one. I personally cannot really comment on them as I have not really had much experience of Coopers however I rang them up the other day to...

I have now sold my S1000RR and in its place is a new model R1200R with all the electronics, sad to see the S1000RR go as it is an amazing bike however it was to full on for me! I would like to say a big thanks to this forum for my brief time on here and all the advice and information it has...

I was just wondering when everyone was looking at bringing there bike out after the winter break, I can't wait to get out but with the U.K. roads full of corrosive salts I am not so keen until it has been washed away. What's your thoughts ? Dave

Hi all just bought a 2011 s1000rr a few weeks ago, I have only used it twice due to the weather and new tyre but I cannot believe how fast these bikes are and I have not had it out of rain mode yet lol. I have had a few different bikes, fast cars over the years but nothing compares to this it's...
