Try the Metzler MEZ4's, or the Pirrelli GTS tires. (same thing I think.)
I really really like the MEZ4's. I have an Azaro rear on right now and
it doesn't give the confidence that my Z4's did. I have a set of Z4's
ready for when I get back from Daytona.

Jay I just saw the picture of your Mayer's saddle in MCN. The front
looks to be dished out alot is that an optical illusion or is your seat
height alot lower now?? The pillion seat looks much improved over stock
but I am not sure what to think of the driver's seat.

Ahh yes, tis true. But again if I lived in Europe I would have gotten a

Has anyone had to replace an ABS pump twice? Just a thought that they
might have already changed the ABS pump internally. Something like a
more corrosion resistant plunger/gaskets, and a stronger solenoid/pump

Has anyone had the front abs quit working or is it just the rear section
that goes bad? My thinking is that the rear goes bad because the ABS
pump is the highest point in the brake line. So that air gets trapped in
the pump. Air mixed with water causes corrosion. Where as because the

Look at it from another angle. With the amount of failures that are
indicated on this list alone. Do you really have the courage not to test
the ABS system? One way or another you should test your ABS. I test
mine on my gravel driveway. I have said it before and probably will
again :
Are you on the throttle coming through the corners or coasting? I am not
trying to say it is technique as I don't know how much further I can go
before the front arm touches down. I do try to keep the rear tire under
some acceleration as I go through corners.

How the what the. what kinda backwards engineering caused a
company to produce a 750 that produces less power than the 600 version.
And why did Yamaha produce the R7 without the "race kit" if it takes a
race licence to purchase it? It has to be money. I mean come on $10K
for forks?
I offered mine a long time ago. Let me know if you would like it,
details, etc.

Your front tire is overinflated. If you are getting 12K miles, and the
tire feels like it is sliding you have too much air in your MEZ4. My 120

pegs (or muffler). On another note: My muffler hits at the same time my

Try the 739 rear with a 756 front. Fairly predictable tires. I have
also heard good things about the Pirelli M23's (I think that's the right
number.) Of course the best rock/root tires are Trelleborg's.
