does anyone out there know if i put a 180 on the rear what difference it would make, as on my tuono i changed it to a 180 and that made it hold a line in a bend much better and stopped it running wide.

I did a quick google search, all I could find was people saying it's bad to ride with a slow puncture and not worth it but they give no reasons.The back tyre of my honda cbf125 has a slow puncture (takes a couple of weeks to go flat when left on the drive). I think the offending 'puncture' is a crack or split about 7-8mm long on the part of the tyre that touches the road. It bubbles when I put soapy water on it. Anyone know of any reason why it is dangerous to ride with a slow puncture?

I have just purchased a 2009 600 Hornet and I will very shortly need some new tyres. I am 71 years of age and only do around 2000 dry miles (if possible) a year. I have got past putting my knee down although I do like to ''lean'' So I would like the best tyres to get the most miles out of, What do you suggest please.

Black Beauty ('58 plate Fazer 600 S2) is going in for it's annual health check within the next week. The Battlax BT-020's it's currently running on will pass the test, but the back is badly squared off after 2300 (mostly motorway) miles, so the plan is to get a Conti Road Attack 2 on the back (the front is ok for now).Question is, are the RA2's any good (esp given they will see motorway use)?
