Pilot sporty

[Mark65]

Hi all
After deciding to keep my bike and insuring it again i had a blast last saturday on it lol 20min ride was 1.5 hours, anyway the chen shin shit needs to go, talk about twitchy on anything bar dry tarmac.
Has anyone used this firm before as they seem to be the cheapest for a set of sportys.

Oh and can i use Dot 5.1 for replacement brake fluid as it has been in my garage about 6 months?.

Thnx for your help

It's a Pilot Sport, that's a typo.

They are good tyres to be honest, pretty soft and the design has been superceded by the Pilot Power 2CT, but they are still bloody good.

Pirelli City Demons are also miles above the nylon OEM tyres too, haven't had much trouble with them for the last 11'000 miles. I might try a set of Pilot Sportys next time I change tyres though.

I put Pilot Sporty tyres on my YBR and they were fantastic. Changed the bike after only about 1,000 miles on them though so can't comment on tyre life.

The R125 comes with them as standard. The guy who owns the one I'm putting a turbo on has no problem getting his knee down with them. Good tyres for the small bike IMO.

tempted to do the same on mine, current tyres are horrendous.

Anyone know if i can fit them myself and how easy it is? bike shop is wanting __£25__ PER TYRE to fit some that i didn't buy from them... stupidly insane.

I get mine on Tuesday, £120 fitted and balanced etc.. sooner spend the bit extra and get them to supply and fit them, instead of me finding a way to get them 10 miles on the bike to the shop.

Hope these make a difference, anyone have any experiences with them being good?

I have used These Before with no problems

If they havent got the size listed just ring them and ask.
Prices seem to be similar to the site you posted, havent looked at it closely though

It'd make 40 if it were my engine to risk, can't speak for the owner though. Already got the turbo, just waiting for a wastegate and some time to fit it all up. Shouldn't be hard to do and easy to tune too with a little trick I know. I'll post details when it gets underway properly.

Where did you find a turbo small enough, a hairdryer?

Ideally I would have liked to find a Kubota turbo but I had to settle for a smart car one. I'm looking to modify the turbine A/R to help it spool.
