    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.

Cheng Shin tires?

I'm now running my 850 on its second set of C.S. Baracuddas.Thhe first set ran 8,000 miles plus each.
 
Hell yeah i have some cheng shin himax on my scoot right now. they came with the bike and i've yet to get any feel for them. don't know how old they are but the treads still look brand new but don't know for how long the PO had them sitting so dry rot might already be setting in. ah well if they're past their expiration date I'll lay a nice "blackie" with them and get some new ones

I mounted and balanced both tires myself (per helpful posting instructions) and put 29psi front and 31psi rear. I've now put 200 miles on the new HiMaxx tires on my 1100G and am happy with the handling(sticks pretty good in the corners) and ride, but haven't gone over 90mph as I need my license for work travelling!
Now we'll see how they wear and how long they last?
 
I have a pair of Maxxis C6002's (a spin off company of Cheng Shin) on my 1100, they are a "V" rated tire, and so far I love them, excellent performance all around, and they are a bit softer in compound that many other tires, so I don't expect to obtain a huge amount of miles. I have about 4500 mi. on them so far, and I do see some wear. I am guessing they will be good for about 7500 mi. Maxxis 6002's are fairly inexpensive tires.
