Get a new tire!  Best *way too much* money I spent on the GS.

:nana:  :mrgreen:

Yup, I'm going to get a new back tire within the next two weeks (who knows...maybe even Monday).

Actually, the threads on tires have been helpful, because now I know what to get!

What you gonna get?

I was kinda stuck with the Sport Demons...  No one had anything...  But, the price was better than the other tires I was looking at.

Boxers most of the time

130/70-17

140/70-17

When you say everyone, do you mean all the local stealers?

I would go (and will be doing) stock size, 130/70-17.  Quicker handling, not gonna rub on anything(though a 140/70-17 probably won't either)

From what I've read here, the 140 doesn't rub, but doesn't flick as quick...  You gotta keep the flick quick!

Well..I don't really need a quick flick, so I'm going to look at the well-thought-of Bridgestone BT45.

I'm afraid of anything with the name "Demon."...I'd have to start wearing my devil horns and tail instead of my doggie ears...then who KNOWs what lows I'd sink to!

As long as you get a 130, they should flick the same....   I've read a lot of posts that have said the 140 and 150 is slower to lean...

BTW...  Things that have "Demon" in the title are WAY better!  

Quote from: JoChan23well hell,  since it doesn't look like im getting a response to my original question... thought id join in...

That's the spirit!

I will also suggest the 130/70, even though secretly I want to try the 140/70, but that's because I have a 40 tooth rear sprocket.

On to underwear!

I prefer cotton tighty-whiteys that aren't white, and by that I mean the 3-packs that come in assorted colors, and the reason why is because I like the restraining feeling I get when I start thinking about whips and chains. Did I mention how cool a black mesh thong is?

I would say that running a 140/70 sport demon on the rear will do you no good, might as well stick with the stock size. the 140 is so rounded to fit in that stupid puney 3.5" rim that your aren't gaining any contact patch. trust me I tried. as far as the demons go, I have been real happy with them, not bad at all for a x-ply. I still think we should all start sending angry letters to suzuki until they redo the rear end and start running a 4.5" wheel  :x

by the way, I just installed the bandit wheel I got from dgyver yesterday, lovin it so far, feels much more stable when cranked into a turn on a bumpy road. feels less flighty at highway speed also. funny how much difference an inch makes. even just running the 140/70 that I was already using it feels much better. I may not change to radials after all.

edit to add: I like pink panties with rhinestones and spangly things

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

But how does the mesh thong hold up in a crash?

I've heard a few people say that they're better than the Demons.
