    Breaking in brand new tire stories?

    Most current tire makes have not been using mould release for years, The chrome/polished moulds are so good they don"t need it any more. That is not to say some companies still do not use old moulds with a release compound. But not usually on newer tires today. One thing nobody gets is how many...

    Cornering harder R than L

    90% of issues with cornering better one side over the other is related to how you position your toes/feet and place your butt. It's not rocket science! I will be at the next/all Pro 6 days and with 5 minutes we can help fix most of the problems I've seen in 8+ years of teaching. Feel free to...

    tire warm-up?

    This hole thread is wrong! If you take a DOT race tire, or DOT street tire at 20 C it will take 40 minutes with good warmers to get it up to the "BOTTOM" of the operating temperature scale of 80 C. So five minutes of starting and stopping won"t do it. Nor 10 minutes of riding slowly in...

    power generator and tire warmer question

    Well, yes,,, and no. They come with the basic instructions. But the use of a warmer can be so indepth,,,and or so simple. So it`s a situation of enough info or too much ? In this sport too much info can be damaging if you don"t understand it.

    power generator and tire warmer question

    The highest number of return/failures we get is after the first weekend after winter. The warmers fail in that fist day/weekend after winter. The only thing I can contribute to it is the cold weather and people leaving them in trailers/garages. The wire is teflon coated so in these warmers that...

    power generator and tire warmer question

    Used Warmers 101: for those thinking about it. Warmers wear out. The wire eventually looses it's flexability as the Teflon coating gets stiff. The thermostats only have so many cycles. There are many thermostats to choose from but we buy the best we can. That gives the warmer about 100,000...

    power generator and tire warmer question

    Okay here we go with tire warmer and generator 101, Chicken Hawk,Woodcraft,Bakers,most Chinese crap all take a minimum of 1500 watts. Tyr Sox and Bickle take less then a 1000. Not sure about Sox but we run less loops and pull the heat with a glass mat to get the coverage. It requires less...

    There are lots of places you can spend a lot of money. The RACER 5 suit is an awsome deal at $500, he has some now if you fit them for $350. It has qulities in the suit that some $2000 designs have. I'm carrying a decent custom line of back and chest protectors,used by Colin Edwards and Nickey...

    Anyone know where/how I can clean a leather moto jacket?

    If you're worried about the colurs running,, turn it inside out,, wash any armour.[probably velcro pockets you can open] Take the armour out first if you can,, the jacket is easier to reverse then. Then hand wash the inside. You can get it pretty wet before the colours will run. Most of it will...

    Anyone know where/how I can clean a leather moto jacket?

    "If" you can get it inside out,, if it is one colour,, put it in the washing machine on gentle, rinse cycle,, just water.[remove armour and wash it as well] Dry cleaners do use chemicals. If the jacket is something you are looking for protection then I don't recommend dry cleaners. If it's just...
