Hey guys, Just picked up this GSXR 400

This bike loves to be revved and lent over. Only problem though is that the tyres are pretty squared off.

Lifted the front wheel for the first time today, by accident but it was a bit of a rush. Going to get use to the bike a little more before i try it again.

Really looking forward to getting some decent summer rides now i'm up from a 125

On the tyres side, i only have a choice of two so want to know the opinions on which are better,

the bridgestone bt92

or

the Dunlop GPR100

Cheers guys

Why only the 2 choices? What size are the tyres?

The tyres are
Front tyre dimensions: 110/70-R17 53H
Rear tyre dimensions: 140/60-R18 64H

So the rear is really hard to find and there the only two tyres i found doing that size and i want matching tyres.

Altough i have been toying with the idea of going up to a 150 on the rear but not sure yet.

Its not reccomended to use a larger tyre, but i did it on my old cb1. it should have been a 140, but i used a 150 and tbh it felt fine to me.
If you want to go down that route i can highly reccomend bridgestone bt090's, thay are ace in the wet or dry, so so grippy

[SM.Morgan]

the gsxr4's handle fine with a 150 on the rear.

Nice example mate, although i'm a fan of the square framed version.

Totally random, but you didn't by chance buy that from a place called 'Vivamoto' did you?

Just wondering, me and a mate went to see about a supposedly 'Good' condition 07 ZX6R, turned out to be abit of a wreck.
