    Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling

    This is a DIY install of the Exedra Max on the new 3R. It requires minor modifications to the forward most rear fender and, if doing it yourself, a tire stand and Mojo Lever - I'd say about a two beer rating for time/difficulty. The result, in my opinion, is a less expensive tire that provides...

    Tire fitment

    I have found a great price for a 180/65-16 rear tire for my 2013 RIII touring. Does anybody know if the drop from a 70 to a 65 will affect how the tire fits on the bike? Clearance shouldn't be a problem, but...better safe than sorry! I know that the drop in size will cause about a 2mph error...

    First nail in the 240 rear tire

    With a massive wide tire, is this a common thing? Only have 1600 miles on it and not ready to replace it. Of course I'm aware this might kick off the old tire plug debate:sneaky:

    Front tire pressure

    I have an "old" R3. I'm running an Avon Cobra 140/75 on the front. I've been running 38psi in it. I just noticed it says max load at 42psi. What are you guys running in yours ?

    Changing rear tire.

    I'm changing my rear tire for the 6th time. This time I took off the gear side bolts to inspect the wear in the inboard side. Once I cleaned up the parts I found a bushing. I'm not sure were it goes. I thought it went between the gear and the drive unit. I'm not so sure now. The wheel seems...

    2020 R3 GT Tire (Tyre) Pressures

    Hi Everyone! I just joined this forum, this is my first post. The manual for my 2020 r3 says that there should be 42 psi (2.90 bar) in both the front and rear? I am used to more like 35 psi (2.40 bar) for the front. Has anyone played around with the pressires? If so, results...

    Tire pressure

    What are you using for tire pressure on your bike? It's my feeling that the pressures listed in the owners manual are on the high side.

    Front tire issue?

    Just wondering if this is normal. Between 50 and 60mph, I can feel a slight vibration in the handlebars. Maybe normal but never felt it on any other bike. Maybe something is not right when they installed the front tire. Mark Graham 2020 GT

    Avon tire rewards and recall

    Last summer I put on an Avon cobra chrome rear tire when they were running their rebate and got a $20 rebate. About a month later I got a matching front tire. I sent in both receipts and got another $60 rebate. I put about 7000 miles on the rear when Avon came out with their recall. I talked...

    Best Tire Size for Handling

    My searches for a good handling front tire size come up with a recommended front size of 140/75/17 or in one case a 150/60/17. I can't find any size recommended for the rear tire other than the 240/55/16. I'd appreciate any thoughts you have regarding good handling tire brands and sizes for my...

    Rear Tire Keeps Deflating!

    So here's the story. 3 months ago I thought I caught a nail on the rear because it kept deflating after a couple of days. I got new Cobra Tires...it took 3 months. My dealership installed them, everything was fine. I put the bike away, then today as I got on the bike, I felt the difference. I...

    Tire mileage continued...

    I bought my 2008 R3T with 4,000 miles back in 2011. The bike had Metz on the front and rear. Both were changed just over 5,000. I bought another set. Same thing. Poor handling, and 5,000 miles. I thought about selling the bike, expensive just with rubber alone! Then I read one of the...

    I pulled THIS from my tire! Cursed- two flats in 4K miles!

    Exactly one month ago I replaced an Exedra Max with only 2700 miles due to a puncture, then yesterday on a beautiful ride I pulled this shet out of that new tire, with just 1300 miles on it! If not for the fact that I got the two punctures in two different locations I would have thought that...

    R3 tire combo

    Received my tires today and went with Bridgestone Exedra 240 55 16 rear and 140 75 17 out front. Looking at the tires I'm wondering if the bike will look like a top fuel funny car. Low in the front and high in the rear. Is that combo a good look on an aggressive looking bike? Thanks,

    American Moto Tire

    Just wanted to give a shout out to American Moto Tire. I ordered a new set of Avon Chromes for my R3T over the Labor Day weekend. I paid $378.00 with free shipping. Avon is offering a $60.00 rebate for both front and back. Thought $318.00 was a great deal so I a not going Darkside yet. I got...
