Tyres may have been discussed earlier, but B010's on my 04 Daytona 955 are just not cutting it in fast riding, the front is really planted but the rear tyre is just slippin a little when on the pace.
Anyone put pirelli diablo's on yet or Michelin power.
ciao

I'm running Pirelli Diablo Corsa's on my 98 Daytona. They really impressed me and my friend the first time I went out and rode hard. They even hooked well in the rain even. I got about 4000 miles out of the back witch is not great but I felt very comfortable knowing that I had tires that work better than I could have imagined on the bike. I down graded to just a Diablo for the back and I'm just as impressed. I like to ride the bike hard and I like to have good rubber underneath me.
Hope my two cents is worth it?

thanks guys,
i might try the corsa's, also have you changed the rear shock i like to have full adjustability ride height etc,; and standard isn't. Anyone put on a Penske or ohlins rear shock, , actually does anyone know what weight/stress the standard rear spring is?
My previous bike was 8 or 9 pounds spring.
