New bits

Post by birrdh »

Hey everyone. 1st of I just want to say thanks for helping me out with a few recent questions. Ive had a 94 NC35 for about 2 months now and Im loving it. So far Ive done 1 trackday on it and had a ball but found it a bit soft so Ive just put in a rs250 shock and rick's fork upgrade kit and its a huge difference so Im really looking forward to my next trackday on monday. Ive also cleaned and balanced the carbs so its running sweet now.Any ideas on what are good wet weather tires for the rvf? I have bt090's on at the moment and find them good once warm but has anyone found any other tires to be good? Heres a pic of the bike anyway.

The BT090's are quite good in the wet, sure you can get better but you're going to lose out on dry grip in comparison.

the 90s are good and i was always loyal to them, but a few months ago i put on some alpha 10s, and now i cannot recommend them enough.

We would have tried some but they couldn't get one in[1] before we needed new tyres for a trackday so BT090's went on again.

Certainly given how people (who like the BT090's) have raved about them worth a shot.

[1] Can't remember if it was front or back now, waited about 2 weeks before gave up as time was running short.

I live in Ireland so for the next few months its only going to be wet roads so not too worried about dry grip. I might give the alpha 10's a shot when the weather dries out a bit
