What tyres are you running?

Truth

Whats sonasty trying to find some one who has had his bike on a dyno with a motorcycle tire. Who has switched to a car tie and has not done any other mods since the first dyno to take a couple pulls and se what the readings are? I don't understand I believe you will loose some power but could be wrong a test would put it to rest. It really does not matter to me but I am curious still the same. Helfire whats the fight over when these things could be checked even if the bike has predator pies and triple filters it does not matter as long as the same mods are there for ach test pull. Liek Lester said he does not care he likes his with the car tire and won't switch. AS for what triumph says about warrantee I bet if mine was still under warrantee and he new I had a blower he would deny it quicker then stink on crap Or at least I think he would.
One thing for sure Hellfire it aint worth getting pissed about when a couple runs could show whats happening. even if it looses power it might be 20hp it might be 10 hell it might only be 5. If it looses power it might very with the weight of the tire it might not.
Were all captains here calling people names is just well not in the spirit of the site which is to learn and get to know each other. I am glad I found a small site dedicated to not bashing each other for this one and the .com and in some cases the rat.net site ( very rare over there as the site is closely muzzled by the administrator. **** Art just new Phil had the oportunity and well thats to late as phil has changed his already. Phil wanted it to happen at Carpenter racing but so many people bash that shop that Art did not feel they would believe it no matter what the answer was.

NO SCOTT not so many people just a few but we like to keep it honest and have somone independent do it on their DYNO we already know the truth

Ya Art but it does not matter to me as I think you and Bob are honest guys anyway. you old geezer

Everyone should chill out, adjust their manties and be patient. I will get my bike down to Art for a dyno pull when it is convenient for us both to get it done. I think he's about an hour and a half away, so he's not exactly right around the corner and we both have more pressing things to do, no doubt.

I really don't understand why this conversation always gets people's dander up , regardless of in which motorcycle forum it occurs. Both sides make valid points and at the end of the day, like ck, I and others have stated, it is a matter of individual choice. I, too, would be saddened to see this relatively flameproof site become sullied by taking a conversation like this into the gutter... that can only serve to weaken what is a great and congenial site!

Poor, laraza!!! He made an innocent query and it ends up nearly causing WW III.

BTW, IFT, you and your buddy at Triumph are 100% wrong about invalidating the warranty. The burden of proof lies entirely with Triumph. If they ever attempted to assert that claim, under this Federal Act, Link Removed, they would not and cannot prevail.

Link Removed, Yuk Phil I'd rather read the Rocket manual and look for typo's and my grammar which at best sucks. Hell I am a Highschool drop out

Of course your right about one thing its not worth draging a site in the gutter!!!!!

True dat, oh warped one!

FWIW, our stock Metz weighs 20.07 lbs and my Toyo T1R CT tips the scales at 24.7 lbs.

Avon Warranty

Hey Phil,
Found this in the Avon warranty. Wonder why? I'd like to see them prove that!


Motorcycle tyres which have been subject to use on rolling roads must no longer be used for subsequent, normal service. Use of Avon motorcycle tyres on a rolling road (Dyno) will invalidate the tyre warranty. All tests on rolling roads must be carried out with test tyres, special tyres reserved for maintenance purposes, or tyres which are worn out or downgraded.

Avon must be nuts, ck, or they've got some serious issues with their tire!/

Link Removed, Yuk Phil I'd rather read the Rocket manual and look for typo's and my grammar which at best sucks. Hell I am a Highschool drop out

Of course your right about one thing its not worth draging a site in the gutter!!!!!

YO GUYS its a matter of fact this is not about opinion hey if we can keep this discussion civil we might be able to get to actually do a test and compile some FACTS then we can move on to something else
