Motorcycle mechanic in the 70s at a honda, norton shop when I was 15 always used the showa tire irons , the hardest was the nortons with at ankron rims, cant buy showa anymore but only china copies , had to be careful not to pinch the tube
Hello, please give us a call so we can learn more about the motorcycle and the type of riding you do, and then we can suggests some tires. (800) 841-2960. Thank you
Dunatik is the best first ride out paddle of them all. But they are toast by the third ride. Especially if you ride hardpacked at slow speed out of camp. Sandsnake hold up decently well but it has the smallest paddles. I like this one of the three recommended. However the kings turbo paddle was my favorite to ride. It was robust and could take a beating. But had tall paddles and ridges on the side in between the scoops to help keep you straight. The worst of all of thrm were the mohawk ones. At high speed you would float like you were on an ice rink. I cut the mowhak off with a hot razor after the first ride.
How good is the ventilation on the pants? I was looking to purchase one pair of riding pants from spring, summer and fall. I didn’t know if these were too hot to wear in the summer in Ohio at 80-90 degrees.
I'm looking at buying an Enduro bike. So I'm trying to learn everything thing I can. Engine repair suspension. Want to learn how to up the weight limit for deep wood travels. But I also have to keep it streetable so I can teach my son how to ride. 😊
I like the way they handle both on and off road. they make a nasty humming noise between 75-85 mph. They are not tough on rocky terrain. The first time a flatted I thought I was being too aggressive. The second time I was not going very hard on the rocky terrain and they flatted anyway. Was running 37 rear, 32 front. I now hate these tires after stranding me twice. When they fail, they are not repairable so you are screwed! Don't do it....don't buy them for your big GSA!
Does the negative get connected to bike frame or is negative terminal on battery ok? is there a specific order this terminal is connected with the bike's battery harness/ends?
@@chaparralmotorsportsafter I sent that I realized that was a while ago sorry. I currently have a 2016 Africa Twin that I just put a Perelli Scorpion Rally Race on front and a Shinko 805 on rear. That set up hits all my spots and your video kinda sealed that. Price and performance for my riding. Thanks for all that hard work. Kinda job I need wearing out tires for work. Good for you guy!
As an owner of the shinko 705's I could not disagree more with this assessment. I just swapped my tires out for some Michelin road 6's (the shinkos are fine, just not doing any trail riding) and the performance difference on wet pavement is truly immeasurable. This review makes it sound like they are just slightly worse than proper street tires and that's absolutely not true. I found myself sliding on my front and back tires while commuting in the rain. I decided to go to a parking lot and see how I would fare in an emergency braking situation - the verdict was not well. I went to the place with the markings for the motorcycle permit test and on wet pavement the tires are not able to pass the permit test. This is what took my thought of "maybe I should get new tires" to an emergency "I can not ride these in the rain again until I get new tires". I would consider their performance to be "you can manage to make it home in the rain if you're caught out in the rain. Give yourself a massive safety buffer in your speed, space, and turns and you will make it but it will not be pleasant" Do *not* take these recommendations at face value, it may be your life that you pay. When I installed my new front tire I returned to the same spot and couldn't manage to force the front tire to lock up at all (mind you, the run up distance is very short so this is only like ~15mph). The new tires would easily and comfortably pass the permit test in the rain. When I tried going faster to find the limit I gave out before the tires did. Even in a parking lot going that fast then braking that hard if the tire grip gave out suddenly I would have a really bad day.
Dumb question for you. Some of us older suburban riders don't ride that often. Do you have any info on tire safety/performance based on age rather than mileage? I currently have Metzler Tourances on my R1200 GS. They came on the bike and have about 6000 miles on them. They have plenty of tread left, but they are 6 years old. I'm probably going to change them out this year, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks for the great review!
Hello, sorry we don't have any specific safety/performance stats/info on older tires. Only that after 5-6 years manufacturers recommend inspecting the tires regularly for cracking/splitting/rotting or hard rubber etc.
So can you lock it out so your wrist won’t bend. I’m asking because I won’t to stop the bad habit I have of twisting the throttle and bending the wrist down to much and causing arm pump. Another words force me to turn the door knob not bend the wrist all way up. Hopefully this makes sense to what I’m asking.
Man thanks the wood blocks really helped getting the last bead over the rim. I had 4 different pry bars on a stiff enduro tire and couldnt get the last bit over. Blocks held it perfectly, though i did send one flying and a screwdriver so be careful. Spritzed the inside of the tire with starter fluid and pop the tire beaded. Only to realize the valve stems torn 😢 on my way to the hardware store
