I have used BT57's quite a while and experience pretty much the same thing on wear especially when riding loaded two up if we are doing any long straight stretches like across Nevada where the speeds are held at around a 100mph (maybe a little more). I thought this was pretty poor milage for a

Hi dave , BT56's are softer than BT57's BT010's are softer than BT020's I've tried 56's & 57's . Heres what i found, the 57's got a flat spot after about 2000 miles, worn out at 3000. 56's lasted 5000 miles wore quite evenly , not much of a flat spot . I'am only talking about rear tyres here. So

BT020's replace the BT54s which are higher mileage tires. BT56s are even softer than BT57s. Joe. -Original Message- From: Dave Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 2:10 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: RE: does size matter ? Guys, Maybe I ha

The 120/70 or 120/60 are much better profiles for the GTS1000. Keep the pressures at 38psi front 40 psi rear and the handling is much better than the OEM 130/60. Kevin Hawkins // Greensboro, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/~raddboy Y2K Kawasaki ZRX1100 // '93 Yamaha GTS1000 -
