I'm gonna be letting one of the experts borrow my bike, with Q3s on it.
Anyone else running q3s? What have you noticed the electronics doing different? Anything at all? How about the steering? Etc. I've already compared sizes between Dunlop and the Bridgestone, I know about that.
I ran pp3 on my cbr1000rr and I got close to 7k out of the rear tire if I remember right. I like the rs10s personally but my work commute next year is going to eat them up in a week.
Just got my q3's installed so I'm not sure how well they will do. Went through 2 sets of rs10's and hated the tire life of them lol :L. Will keep posted on how these tires will do on the new r1
I don't have a 2015... but I have been running the Q3s pretty much since they came out... on my '97 YZF600R, '01 FZ1, & now on my '05 R1...
If you ride lots of straight roads & hammer the throttle constantly (esp from a stop) you will wear the rear fairly quickly... if you are smoother on the throttle & hit the curves more they will last quite a bit longer...
I normally get about 3000-3500 miles out of a rear & can get 2 rears per front tire... but often replace them as a set. I have worn out a rear at Deals Gap in a week w/ about 1500-2k of hard riding...
Keep in mind that this is obviously on a lower HP bike... I hear this is about double what people are getting out of the RS10s...
Had Q2 and Q3 on my 2011 have a set of Q3 on my 2015 . I'm going back to RS10 street race tires alot better feeling on the RS10 . I know they don't last long but I like them.
yeah we all know how long the Q3s last, at least compared to the rs10s..
what this thread is about, you dorks, is how the electronics on the bike performs with tires other than intended =P
any problems with early intervention? anything like that? true story.. dunlop front is larger than the rs10 front.. dunlop rear is smaller than the rs10 rear. sooooo.. the bike might think youre often pushing the front, and sliding the rear? haha..
/sigh. Fat lot of good you guys are.. The decision to put Q3s on my bike was given the nod by the guy who's gonna be messing with my bike, so whatever. At least this way we all get info based on how the bike rides with tires most of us will use
Have Q3's on my gal, and man do they stick. I've even done some winter riding and surprisingly they hold up very well. I love the Q3's and how they allow me to flick left to right effortless. I would say it's the bike but I have them on my zx10r gen4, and its the same feeling. Don't get me wrong the RS10 are great tires, but they just has a short life span, especially on the track.
No, the tire change isn't going to affect the electronics in the slightest. You're WAY overthinking it. Your tire pressure is far more important. No go ride and don't worry about it...but do check your tire pressure hahaa
