I did a trackday at Mallory last August - in the intermediates, tyres were pilot sport cups 31 and 34psi.
All the right handers had the edge on the other riders - overtaking no probs...(with a good consistant wear to rear tyre)...
...but once I was at the devils elbow (only left hander) the rear end of the bike progressively got worse throughout the day.
The tyre was tearing up on the left to the point where it was sliding coming out of the bend. Had a few people agree it was cold tear - even though there seemed to be loads of heat in the tyre - it wasnt sufficient on the left side.
Part of the problem is my bike has been re-sprocketed with 1 down front 3up on the rear. Great for most situations just not at Mallory.
Regards
Les :-)
ps Have just moved over to rennsports as the rear end was sliding a fair bit on the road (round the twisties) - managed to get 1000miles from the cups :-( |
