what profile tires are you boys using on the track. ive just used a set of pilot race and the rear was the 190/ 55 ive got a set of unused slicks and the rear is a 195/70 is this a better profile for the track ? yes /no
any help appreciated

Haven't used anything outside 55. 70 is wild though. Must have lots of surface area cranked over. Using a side stand ? Bike is sure to fall over with the 70 - rear stand mandatory. It will change the geomotry of the bike and affect your suspension setup.

Keep us posted if you get to use it please.

I run a 180.......but the 195/70 slick is a great tire. I doubt the bike will fall over on the side stand with one on the rear :lol

you'll have to reajust lots of things on the bike... not that fun but bigger tires will definitly help you ..

Readjusting suspension hieghts is cake if your methodical about it.

i went to a 190/60 on my o4 r1 and it is a pain in the arse!!! there is alot of suspension tunning u will have to do and possible increase ur wheel base!! u may have to settle it down by adjusting sag numbers as well! if u have any ? or need help i can at least get u in the right direction! also if ur is the 06 or 07 ur off to a better start because the swingarm on those models are 20mm longer then the 04 and 05 model!!

this is the 08 model mate. i have 2 of them one for the road and the other will be for the track. as i said earlier i took the road one to the track for about a dozen laps on the pilot race and it flat out destroyed them but it was a very hot day. but i was curious more so to the benifits or lack there of for using this profile slick
