I have no idea what it is, but I never had this problem with my old Busa. Coming home from work this morning, just riding along enjoying the brisk NC air, thinking about the stock exhuast modification I was going to do when I got home,and all of a sudden the bike is getting hard to turn. I had experienced this before, and thought to myself, I have a flat tire. Sure enough, I had picked up a roofing nail about 3 miles from my house, tire was flat, so I basically had to walk it home from that point. Got home, took the back tire off, completed the exhaust modification, fired the bike up, and it did sound better, but I would have to wait till the bike shop openned to see what it sounded like on the street. Bike shop openned up, went in had a new DUNLAP put on the bike, and proceeded to head back home. Got new tire on the bike, then backed it out of the shop, for a quick spin around the block. Went about 5 miles, looked down the fuel light was on, so off to the little hole in the wall store for some go go juice. As I pulled into the store, I felt a bump in the rear, the was occuring at a regular basis. Stopped the bike, got off, and low and behold, I had picked up another nail, but this time it was not a standard roofing tack. This nail was a 10 peeny nail, which by the way, makes a really nice size hole. 5 miles on a tire, yep you guessed it, I plugged that bad boy till I could get it home, to take the tire off to go get a new one. The point of the story is, use your on opinion, but it seems to be that DUNLAPs are nail magnets. I will be heading to the bike shop again to get a new tire, but I will proceed to burn this new one down to the ground. Pictures will follow this time. I have spent a small fortune in the past 2 months on tires, and I have been babing them. Now I carry a plug kit with me in the hump area, and murphy's law probably will help me out here, that I will never have another nail in a tire, or atleast I hope I don't.
