    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Best way to break in new tires.

On Tires.....

On Tires.....

I'm with Nick and Earl. I've always just ridden them easily for the first 100 miles or so. Have only had one set slide on me and that was my own fault going into a corner just a little too quickly 8O Having said that, I'm glad I read this thread as I'd never given the mold release agent a thought, much less EVER had any dealer inform me of it. Thanks guys. Bob
 
:-) :-) :-) Well Nick, I'll concede there are few :-) mountain roads in south Fl. However, I do know where all the winding roads are for 200 miles in any direction. heh heh You might be surprised how much tread wear I get on the sides of the tires. :-) If you'll promise not to scream too much, I might let you ride pillion sometime. :-) :-) :-)

Yeah, Earl. Leaning the bike is what you get to do so often on those beautiful, curvy mountain roads in Florida.

Just put a new set of Dunlop 208ZR's on the TL1000 and at $260 a set I am going squeeze these puppies for all they are worth.

I have a 208 on the front and love it. I had a 204 Sportmax race compound and the 208 is so much better. I have a British built D364 on the rear that was a Daytona qualifier I got from a friend some years ago. I doubt I'll see as big of a difference at the rear.
