Rubber brands and quality

[dude_pare01]

you get what you pay..thats the reality...

vee rubber is expensive, and does not last long for daily use

...but damn sticky...(hugs the road)hehehe

 

[arechin]

how bout FKR?
anyone heard of it?

 

[charge]

No wonder la. Aiyoyo, then I want my Vee Rubber back !
I hate understeering, it is damn dangerous man.. Yesterday I try to chase down a Perodua Myvi at 130kph, suddenly when doing big corner the bike understeers... scared the hell out of me

 

[miobikerboys]

Maybe its just the way you drive charge You like drifting? Coz I drift alot and understeering is FUN FUN FUN!

 

[dude_pare01]

understeer is the skidding of the front tire(tendency to go straight even if its turned)

and oversteer is the skidding of the rear tire(tendency to steer more than what you need..ex...drifting)

..did i get it right?

 

[charge]

mio... i dunno how to drift :blush: I m more like a grip driver, skidding the front or rear will make me sleepless

yea, dude_pare01 is correct, understeer is skidding the front wheel. Oversteering still ok, can countersteer to bek to normal. Understeer is the killer, i have no control at all

 

[rudduan]

then,i suggest u buy the dunlop tyres,they wont drift

 

[miobikerboys]

Did you know that IRC tires here are not imports? They are made in Thailand. I was checking out my front tire and it said "IRC Made in Thailand". Isn't it from Indonesia?

2day morning i accidentally drift my bike! i turn a right corner at speed of 70 or 80kmh...suddenly comes out a dog...thn i hit front brakes...but i anti-steering to left....and downshift from from 4th gear to 3rd gear...i feel my bike was pushing forward but didn hit tat dog...after that i felt how lucky am i didn fell down or hit the dog...i oso shaking after tat "drift"

 

[rooster]

dunlop also can drift lah...
depends on ur torque bro...

 

[miobikerboys]

isn't drifing fun? especially on sand tracks.

 

[charge]

yea mio, i can feel the blood flow suddenly increased while drifting on sand. Our bike is damn good on sand track actually. I remembered 1 month ago i was chasing a modded car around a quite sandy curve. When exit from the corner i almost full throttle and the rear skid a lil. Then I counter steer a bit and the bike goes to the direction i want again. Well, i am not good in the real drift, but still ok when the tyre is between grip and drift state
My good old EX5 will straight away skid and lost control if i do high speed corner and lost some grip at the rear, hahahaa. 135LC r0x!!

 

[e3_1990]

yo charge...tats too dangerous man...i had 1 fren involve accident by his suzuki rg skidding n lost control on last year...b4 i oso crash my t135 by turn a corner n step on some grease from the f**king lorry...thn skid n crash

 

[charge]

yo, oil is the worst nightmare for bikes. i never go 100% into a corner on street, usually only 70% of wat the bike can do. At least still got some margin for escape, unless i m real bad luck going through a damn big patch of oil or sand

 

[rudduan]

ride safe,ride careful,always aware what happen around us (love drifting)heheheh

 

[dude_pare01]

and small pebbles are deadly...very deadly in a cemented of asphalt road

 

[rudduan]

hmmm...that is the risks for genuine riders like us

 

[kirana]

so get the FDR tire from Indonesia,in KL is about RM190 for one,very good grip,but is a soft compound n heavy,but all racing bike in Johor n Sepang is using this compare those from Dunlop JAPAN.that is what i c,maybe other time or most of the time i m not there they will use other brand,hehehe

 

[CryptonX]

well im using the irc from stock right now but tommorow ill change tyres and ill put a tigerroad tyre in front 2.25 and a pilot tyre 2.50 rear the tiger is good cause it lasts longer and can keep the front wheel in road and the pilot has a very good handling(whatever is called) but it loose handling very fast and becomes a drift tyre
