radial

Hi guys, new to the forum and to the Vmax, and sizing one up with a view to it being a project. I've moved from the country to the city and as such the twisties are going to be a rarety, so something that goes like stink in a straight line and looks brutal is the order of the day - hence the...

so this one comes in many rear sizes to fit my 17" rim but it also has a 130 front (130/17/18) to be exact. any thoughts on if it would fit in an otherwise stock front end with a cazz front rim? http://www.bikebandit.com/shinko-005-advance-motorcycle-tire right now i'm running a 120/70-18...

I'm runnig a set of Roadtec Z6 interact. Metzeler advice 34(36)/36(38) for solo ride on the sport touring. Guys, how much pressure do you put in ur radials ?

Am almost finished restoration/mods of my '90 Max.This is my 3d Max & the first that's I've converted to radial tires.Got a Sportmax rear(18" from John) & am using stock front rim.(John @ BRM Sportmax was awesome to deal with as usual BTW).Had Avon tires installed.Storm Ultra2 frt.in 110/80r/18...

I went to my local dealer for getting a set of radial tires, unfortunately the 110/80 is not available. He told me some other v-max guys did fit the 120/70 although not sure if it was really on the narrow stock wheel and I don't know the real output. I'm thinking to get a set of Metzeler Roadtec...

I was just wondering if the radial tyre were lasting less than the bias type on a vmax. Any feedback guys ?

Based on vmaxoutlaw it's a pretty bad idea: "Never run a bias ply tire on one wheel and a radial on the other or I can tell you from experience that this will destroy the handling of the V-Max that you are working to enhance. Whatever wheels you end up with after you follow these steps, you...

I finally installed a set of radial masters with shorty 6 positions adjustable levers. The feeling is really great, now I finally know what it means breaking with just 2 fingers with the R1 calipers. the Clutch is effortless and I can switch gears easier and faster than before Did I say...

Those guys running front stock rim and radial tires all around, what are you using? how do these look? http://www.bikebandit.com/shinko-011-verge-radial-motorcycle-tire i hate you bill, by the way!

There is a thread going on in the suspension forum dealing with the cause of the dreaded weave and or wobble that the VMax seems to be prone to. I am hoping to get some form of consensus from the guys running radial rims as to whether or not they have ever experienced a weave or wobble at...

I'm going with radial tires this year and would like to know what everyone is setting the tire psi to? Thanks

Going with a metz 880 180/55-18 in the rear. I know for the front 120/70-18 is the radial most choose to use on stock rim. However, michelin makes the pilot in 110/80-18 which is closer to stock height. However, will this tire look too narow? Will it be an ok match with the 880 in the rear?

I'm new here and just wanted to say hello. I'm looking into purchasing some carrozzeria wheels. I was wondering what brand and size tires are you guys running? Any help would be much appreciated

In the past I read number of articles on how to install radial tires on VMAX, which were involved changing the rims,... an expensive painful process. That had to be done since there were no radial tires made for the bike on stock sizes (110/90V 18" and 150/90V 15") I was just trying to order a...

i know this has been talked about before but let me ask again i have a 110/80 radial on the front and plan on installing the stock rear wheel with maybe a 170/80 tire is this a problem. i know it was said you could run both together but which combination and what happens when you dont listen i...

Anyone have some pics of a radial tire installed on a stock front rim? I am interested in seeing what it looks like compared to stock.

In an earleir post I had stated that I had never had a front tire on any bike wear out till the tread was gone, since they usually got some cupping and or feathering developing first that made them start acting weird, and thought that was pretty mcuh normal for a front tire (and still do)...

I was wondering what you guys who have radials are using for a front tire?? what is availble out there? I have a 190/50/17 micky thompson to mount up in the rear. this tire is 1.15 in shorter than stock. by my calculations in order to maintain the geometry and weight balace of the bike...

just thought i would ignite a discussion. If a 600 pound 140hp Gen 1 can get in the 10s.... Than 680 pound 200hp Gen 2 can get in the 9s present your arguments pro or con......
