Is that normal?

Digifox · 05-28-2010, 04:20 PM

For the last week i have been running my bike pretty damn hard and a lot further then before.
*No idea how many miles*

But i've noticed a few things that i didnt really pay attention to before.

Like for one.
Going around turns(like turning onto a street) If i kinda get on it the rearend will start to slide out from under me(almost laid it down in grove city)
this is really ANY time i get on it in turns~ Normal or just the POS rear tire?
(before i just thought it was from something on the road)

also once the tire gets sorta warm it loses nearly ALL traction, especially on the edges. Exp. when the tire is cold i can almost flip the bike backwards, but once its warm and try to do it it just sits and spins the tire

Cheng-shin tire BTW

Crap tires.

Also what is your body position. Are you leaning into the turn like you should, or is your chest straight up and down like a dirt biker.

tires m8. if they're getting less traction when they're warm then they're beat.

If i read it right this is happening when you are turning at a 90* angle like from street to street?

Body posi. Is leaning into the turn with the bike, but when it starts to go i jerk it back.

And its most any turn just a little worse street-street..
Damn i was hoping i wouldnt need a new tire. Oh well its still on craigslist

What bike is it? Could be the suspension in a different part of the travel.

Tires usually don't spin up or at least it is pretty hard to do unitentionally.

Its the ninja 250but like i said, its really bad when the tire is warm.

even worn rubber is still gonna be rubber, i really dont see how you could have missed your tire being THAT worn down, and i especially doubt the edge of your tire is worn that bad. Im thinking your just a little fruity and god is trying to scare you straight.

How's your rear shock setup?

If it's too soft or too firm your rear tire is gonna bounce or otherwise do wonky things.

i really fear that we are overdiagnosing a very, very, very simple problem here people.

We're talking about low speed turns on city streets not 60* lean angles at the track.

Right: bumpy-assed city streets. Hence my suspension question.
