As for the brakes they need a good bleeding and I occasionally get soem headshake with hard braking at higher speeds. I have heard that these bikes do osscilate at times so I wasnt sure if its that or a warped rotor, but for track duty I def want better pads on there anyway.

I managed 5000 miles on the DC III but I hated them. I put Pilot Road 2 on.

I like th eold diablo corsas and use a fe wof them on my Tl1000, but they didnt seem to last very long. I got a good deal on a set of pilots, liked the feel as well and they seemed to last longer so I was sold on that.

If I could have gotten 5k+ out of the DC III's I would have gladly paid the extra $$ for them, they just worked on the Buell. Only tire I've had on that I haven't spun on corner exit (except at a track day).
I know that has as much to do with my right hand as it does the tire, but that's beside the point.

Going to pick up a new battery today. Decided to just bite the bullet and buy a new one. No sense in struggling with a weak battery again this year. 7 years is a good run for a battery.

No doubt, plus bump starting a big bore twin is not the easiest of things to do.

New battery acquired.
