Hi guys
I'm new for this site and I ride a 1999 busa, I have a problem i don't really know what tires I'm gonna buy between metzeler sportec M5 interact or pirelli diablo rosso corsa.
In Malta the roads are pretty bumpy and not that good. Right now I have the Avon storm its not a bad tire, I bend very well in fact I have no chicken straps left on both sides, but when I'm fully bent and coming out of a corner with 5th gear the tire always seems to slip from behind. I've set up my bike to my fit and it's pretty good and up till now it's the best set up I've ever ridden and I've always used these type of tires because I got my bike last April and it came with them. I just want to ask you what you think about the metzeler and the pirelli I've mentioned there, if anyone one of you have tried these tires out on the road..
Another issue I got is about the geometry of the swing arm if maybe anyone can help me with this. My busa's jack up link is 15mm from hole to hole from the standard, now I bought the adjustable links so I can lower it a bit because the geometry of the swing arm is 13.4 degrees. Does anyone know what the best degrees is? I've heard professional riders ride it with 13 degrees but i'm not a pro, I just risk my life on this f...... island (: Thanks for your time hope you can help
