Street tires for the 610

[Muddy Waters]

Thanks Raj -->

I was driving home thinking about the possibility of having to order yet another thing for this bike, not being able to ride it for another week and I don’t know if it was the AC blowing straight in to my eyes but man let me tell’ya I was getting teary there for a second.......

Any thoughts on how many miles should I take it easy on the new Contiforce’s?

I put a new set on my DR350SM and took a nice twenty mile mountain ride than took a supermoto class at Infinion Raceway's kart track and ran the hell out of them and they worked perfect. They break in fast and warm up fast. I'm planning on replacing my stock Dunlap's on my 08' SM 610 with the Conti SM's as soon as they wear out. I was running 24 psi front and 26 psi rear.

It shouldn't take to long, I made one aggressive canyon run of about ten miles and by the end of it they were sticking like velcro.

So, is there any more drama yet to be played out or did you finally get it done?

^^^^^^^
--> Oh there is much more drama to be had, just wait till I start with the real stuff like valves and such….

But as far as the tires goes it’s all good and just in time for some mother nature type drama

I like this Conti’s it seemed like I was holding my regular pace today in the wet while all the cages where on a slower pace
Allot better then the OEM’s, thankyou very much

using Bridgestone BT 21's. Rear is a 150/70 though as it doesn't come in a 150/60. Using this profile had an added benefit of putting a bit more weight on the front as the sidewall is taller and the tendancy to tank slap is less now.

I picked up a few sets of Maxxis race rain soft compound tires for spring

I`ll let you know how the rains go...should be fun....... then switch back to the Power Ones once it warms up a little.


They look mean mounted on the bike but I'll upload them tomorrow.
