    Tire Wear

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I ordered a new tire today from a different distributor, just incase the last one I got was from a bad batch. The rebound issue is definitely a possibility. Think I should try loosening up the rebound damping in the meantime before I get to the track?

    Tire Pressure Growth Questions

    I have read through some of the posts and have some looming questions for the tire gurus. Full disclosure, I have not yet joined you guys on the track yet but am looking forward to doing so. 1. I spent some time racing/engineering on four wheels and find it hard to believe that the pressures...

    New guy in North Carolina

    Hi everyone, I am really looking forward to getting my '10 Z1000 out on the track to improve my skills. I've been through the site and had two questions before I join up and start signing up for days at VIR. 1. I don't have full leathers and I understand that NESBA offers rentals. My problem...
