XT600E Tyres - Recommendations??
Many thanks AngusTo You and Antek for your further contributions. To cover the points you have mentioned guys, I am a "trim" 12.5 stone and I like to think it's not a "bottle problem". I am essentially talking about the effect of straight line performance on tarmac. With the TCK80s fitted the bike was happy at 80mph plus on tarmac. I work in PSI me self so up to 1.8bar is 26psi front and up to 2.0bar is 29 rear, so will try upping front tyre pressure and reducing rear pressure and see how I go. Yamaha recommendations are 1.50 bar front (22 psi) and 2.25 bar rear (33psi). Not sure what Michelin recommend but will check their website and see if I can get some info on recommended pressures. Suspension/bushes etc seem fine, but I will take the bike to my local friendly dealer and get him to give it the once over to make 100% sure. Other possible option is to get the wheels balanced if altering the tyre pressures doesn't bring about any improvement???
Thanks again guys, I am sure I will crack the problem in the end.
