don't think the dunslip roadsmarts are available in the right sizes, everyone knows that bridgestone 090s are the only choice for these Wink

you can get a front, but should be able to run a 150/70 on the back with no trouble.

But yeah, bt090 are wikid good on a 400 Very Happy

Yeah there is not much of a selection, I was considering a 160 60 18 swap but that would have meant I could put cheaper tyres on and I don't really want to compromise so on pay day it will be a bridgstone for the rear Smile

play it safe Smile

and the front has to go :p

Update

Have passed my theory and will book test for february can not wait!
I have a list of goodies I need to get
Left mirror
Top fairing mount (between tank and mirrors)
Brake and clutch levers
Ordinal rear sets
Throttle grip (plastic part)

If anyone could help I'd be very greatfull! Have the money waiting

Also I am beginning to think the panels are not original I.e import copies they feel brittle and nasty any ideas?

Whip one of the side panels off there should be a part number on the underside of it (KY2 in the middle somewhere)

So I've passed my test

very happy, bike feels awsome! Sorted the grips, done the oil and filter, got a new battle axe on the rear. All good however the sump bolt is shagged, bolts fine its the thjreads in the sump :@ any ideas? I've sourced a new second hand sump but rather have that be the last resort, maybe thread lock or heli coil I don't know please help Smile

Congrats on passing Smile

Regarding the sump: if you've got a replacement lined up just swap them over. To helicoil properly you would have to remove the sump anyway or filings and shit would get inside.

Or if you really don't want to swap them over just risk it with an helicoil whilst it's still on the engine.

Do your self a favour, replace all the phillips head faring bolts with allen dome heads. You can buy packs of stainless dome heads on ebay, will save you alot of hassle.
