my stock 140-80 blew up at just under 4,000 (that was exciting) - stock front good for 10,000

cheng shin 140-90 was good from 4000 - 11,000 - just replaced with kenda 140-90 we'll see how that does - i thought about going DARKSIDE- but the only little car tire i could find was 145-70-15... kinda small...

Huh

See the square brackets on your keyboard? Use the left square bracket, the word quote (not underlined), right square bracket, the material you want in the quote box, left square bracket, /quote (not underlined), and the right square bracket.

!quote!stuff you want in the quote box!/quote!

but with the square brackets, not exclaimation points, at the beginning of each command. If I used it here it'd make the quote box and the commands wouldn't show.

Or, use the button on the reply screen with the page & arrow and put the stuff you want in the quote box between the bracketed commands.

Or click the button that says quote on the upper right corner of the post you want to quote.

Reply #37 - 06/26/09 at 20:35:27 A friend of mine has a 2006 Suzuki Savage (or whatever they are called) and had noticed after 6000 km when fixing a flat on the stock IRC that the rubber in the centre of the tire was quite thin and flexible so he went to a Dunlop 90 15, Seems from all the input that the IRC stock tire is not a very good one.

ok rode my wife tonight and she weighs only about 120 lbs and i am about 180.... the tire going over bumps sounds to be bottoming out badly but is surely rubbing on the sides for sure... the left side specifically.. so bad that when i got off the bike i touched it there and its melty like..and rubbed badly.. you can hear it rubbing constantly with a low roar going down the road..
i cannot see what it is rubbing on.. only thing i can figure is belt..?. there is little shaving of the tire on my rim also..

thanks for the help i am going to call him tomorrow first thing and tell him about the spacers and also maybe the alignment...

i hope he bucks up and does the right thing..

I finally found a shop in town that will change my tires. I've gotten 8K off the stock tires on my 2006, but its time for new ones.
The shop guys said i was running PSI pressure too low - but i fill up to manual spec - 28 front, 33 rear. They added more air. What do you guys think?

As an added bonus, the shop (recently relocated to my little burg) does MC inspections. At last. I haven't had mine inspected since 06 - lack of a place to do so!
Funny thing tho - the DMV kept right one sending my annual renewal stickers once my bike tax was paid each year.

No such luck from here on out tho - NC just changed the way vehicles of all types get their inspection and licensing. No way to sneak by anymore. Tongue

I think they are FOS. If you got 8K out of the rear IRC you did everything right. you should have got a little more out of the front though. Actually the front tire pressure according to the manual should be 29psi cold but 1psi will not make that much difference. Gazoo www.lubedealer.com/1lube

Reply #44 - 06/28/09 at 18:20:32 I would stick to what Suzuki says for air pressure,If you use more pressure their going to wear in the middle more,which they do anyway unless you do a lot of curves and lean a lot,Your also get a better ride and the S40 is a light bike.
