Tyres and fiddly bits

As a relative newcomer to ss's and after a near miss today I'm going to junk the michelins on there at the minute,any recommendations?
Ihave bt010's on the 916 but am not sure I'll need anything that funky on a 750ss.
Also if anyone can give me the stock suspension set up I'd like to check that against whats there at the minute as it feels very vague,though that could be the tyres again.
To be honest I've not even looked at the suspension to see what I can adjust yet,but may as well start somewhere.
regards
D.

I put 010's on my 900ssie and they are great
Predictable and comfortable
Used at trackdays and on the road,and just lurve em to bits (btw only 3 1/2 track days so no racerboy, Im 55 goin on 70)
I got a guy, advertises as Shockwave, to set up my suspension, cost 30 quid, best money ever spent
Im goin to try Diablos or Diablo Corsa's in March so cud let you know then, but my dosh is on 010s but heard great reports about Bridgy 012's as well
If you find sumfink that real comfortable wiff, let me know.
Also, and sorry this is a long waffling reply, try chatting to Wraysbury Tyres, I think Tyreman (u2u him) could help if you down south

I've got Diablo Corsas on my 96 900ss and they work very well. VERY quick to warm up and nice feel. I think the mileage tradeoff against the Diablo streets.
Note that they are very sensitive to tyre pressure so that should be the starting point for any troubleshooting.

cheers, Chi
