ncie video! I brought home a 698 base model yesterday so I'm excited to see what it can do. I noticed you were short shifting this bike. I was under the impression that this motor preferred to be revved out more to get the most out of it?
Great video. You might like the Metzeler TD Slicks. I switched from Q5s as well, the rear was getting destroyed way too fast. There is the added hassle of tire warmers, but the upside is no need for a warm up lap. 😃
I mainly ride this bike on the street, but if I was going to slicks, I would go with the Pirelli's (similar to the Metzeler's, I think) Next pair, I will most likely go back to the Pirelli DOT TD tire. They dont last either but are supper sticky for the street ! (and very similar to the Q5)
@@xeeded The mirrors hold the clutch/brake fluid reservoirs in place, if you remove them you need a reverse threaded bolt (of which I dont have) to hold them in place...
