Re: same problem?

if you want a good stoppie tire, get one of those, that's all I would trust personally. 20 psi is fine for all riding until you really hit the twisties hard or go to a track.

Re: same problem?

square your shoulders off. you're probably not going too fast yet, you can put presure on the opposite clip on that you're going to steer it a little. the higher the tail, the easier it is to get to change direction. or it could be a little slope in the road.

Re: same problem?

that should work. if it comes up crooked, you're better off just putting it back down though, before it gets nasty

If i keep it straight i could go anywhere from 100-300 ft. but i can't stear sh** either. The other day was focusing on steering and i flipped one. 12 bar right to the should!!! someday it will come i hope kinda like stearing wheelies, one day it just shows up in you bag.

Re: same problem?

Ive never had problems with dunlops, 207s and 208s, just lower pressure to around 20 psi, as others have said. You will notice a huge difference in turning in and cornering with that psi compared to 30 or 32 or whatever you have in. You get used to it, but if youre planning on riding hard to and from youre spot, or if youre a runner, i would recommend lowering at spot, and then go to closest station and fill back up, as it makes a huge difference in response and stability (youre life) at speed. Try straightening youre arms, and yeah if your *** is swinging left, put a little input on the right hand. Im not great but can do about 150 feet with no damper, and they get squirly. I NEED A DAMPER>

Re: same problem?

yeah, good tire. it lasts a while. probably 3000ish miles give or take. depending on how much street riding you do.
