Nice machine but the carbon wrap... Sad Sad

Ok for a short term fix but I'm not a fan

Couldn't agree more! Just a shame to put fake wrap on such a nice bike IMHO Wink

The wrap is better than the non stock plain white. Each to their own and it's on a budget for now so I'm happy with it so that's so what matters.

No wonder bud they are bloody awful. Never had a tyre that I had so little confidence in. It's the only tyre I've ever had 6th gear wheelspin on in the wet. Hopefully get the Metzler M7-RR on it shortly.

I had this vision but they've already dropped quite a bit this year (could be that it's November...)

They'll drop to 2k before/if they rise again. Maybe in 20 years they'll be 5k+...

Got an M7-RR Rear now. Only paid £70 for it result. Just need the front to arrive now and I'm sorted. It will be booked in for a service and valve clearance check over Christmas so it's ready for next year. Can't wait.

What's the mileage on yours? I was tempted to check valve clearences last week when I serviced mine but was hung over (managed to spill a litre of used oil over the garage floor Laughing )

Mines at 25k now. If I still have it next year I'll take a look then.

I checked the triumphs clearences last month at just under 20k and all well within spec.

Just over 16k on mine. Probably overkill I know but I haven't had the bike that long so it's more just for piece of mind going forward. There's a site called oponeo.co.uk I got a front Metzler M7-rr for £89 delivered. Prices are pretty good.
