New member. New Bike Issues!
Hello everyone, I have just bought an S1000rr after many years of being unsure. Im so pleased with it, but it has a few little problems that I want to iron out to make it perfect! and I was hoping you petrol heads on here could help direct me?
Problems Consist of, re-powder coating the wheels. They have been sprayed in a fantastic colour but very unprofessionally in that it was just wet sprayed ( no primer etc)
This has resulted in it peeling off! Ive found a great place that will respray with 3 year guarantee, the problem is finding the exact colour code to match the existing.
Is there a company or something I can take a Sample ( of the peeled paint ) to electronically scan and produce me with a code. Or should a Good wheel respray garage include this in their service?
Another issue is tyres, these on at the moment seem to be in good condition over all and feel fine to ride with the very limited milages I have covered so far. However, looking closely at the very edge of the tyre, front and rear. the rubber looks sort of shredded and distressed for maybe one 10/15 mm inwards.
Is this because it has been ridden very hard knee down ect or infact the polar opposite? There Diablo SuperCorsa. Are these good? does anyone else use them? What the best recommendations?
Any advice much appreciated.
Ryan
