Received my new tires. A set of Michelin Pilot Road 3s. Now I just need to get them mounted.
What did you do to your bike today?
- Thread starter Diluted
- Start date
I'm about to order them in the near future, update us on how you like them!
BTW, Im thinking of running a 170 on the rear, they will fit right?
Mine are on the way and due to arrive on 02/20/12.Got a new set of Dunlop Q2's mounted, my CF heel guards mounted, changed her oil, and renewed the insurance for this year. IT'S ALMOST RIDING SEASON AGAIN!
Have you ridden on them yet?

Will do. As for the 170 rear? There are a few threads already:
I have not, however they have great reviews so I figured they were worth a shot, especially at 190$ a set!
Carefull on those michelins, there really sliperry the 1st 200 miles.
WTF?
Where did you get them for that price?
I paid $278 for the pair. The front is the same size as the FZ6R and was 109 alone.
Jeeeeezzzz
BTW: They came in today so I'll be mounting them tomorrow morning. It'll be real fun mounting the 190/55....LOL
So were the Metzler Sportec M5 Interact......The rear tire had no grip when I braked and the front slid out like it was greased when I totaled my FZ6R.

This is a combination of today and the other day. Added the yamaha windshield, fender eliminator, integrated tail light, front spoon turn signals, and some accent turn signals in the front.
All in all, it was simple as pie. Turn signals were actually the hardest part as they weren't plug in go and required some electrical work.
I keep fiddling around with this bike and I have a feeling it's only going to get worse....

Took the day off from painting (the house) and spent the morning on the road. Traffic between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale was an insane 90-95 mph! I only kept pace because I didn't want to get hit from behind!!

I'll give it a shot tonight. There's some videos on Youtube but they honestly do not do it justice.

Had my new tires mounted and balanced, then spent the time putting the wheels back on and adjusting the chain. Took a 5 mile ride in the 30° weather to make sure everything was aligned and tightened. Feels good. Just wish it wasn't trying to snow tonight.
