ER6
if that's the 17mm it should work for OEM double calipers

mana tau Brembo can 1-finger brake leh?

because wallet ringan?
brake feel wise, does the new MC feel more solid?

MC = master cylinder
this is the more common term, but locally we hear master pam

I mean, yeah, stoppie because now wallet lighter so the end goes in the air easier
haha

well done
you retired already kah?

been waiting for this update from you
I wondered, who really caused the oil channel issues on the engine head? The designer or actually the party who manufactured it?

true, and I certainly hope things are better going forward, including KTM's fate

nice!!!!

model code for the newer version of Dominar, like I think D400 UG or something....

sale?

keeping just one, or eyeing another bike?

maybe, maybe not

esp true if with cross ply tyres

First consideration is rim size. Starting from R25, to the Ninja 400, RC390 and 450SR mentioned, I believe all have 4 inch width rear rim. Options are 140/70 and 150/60.




Note: this is a general chart, some tyre models may vary

Key takeaway from fitment guides:
1. For the same size, going lower on the aspect ration (AR), from 80 to 70, a larger rim width is recommended
2. Bias ply vs radial tyres can have different fitment guides (example below)



From Metzeler's book, a 140/70 is recommended for 3.75; whereas the 150/60 for a 4.25. Both will work on 4 inch rims, just the 140/70 will "expand" a little, while the 150/60 "pinched" a little. One way to do this, is to measure the tyre bead's distance from edge to edge before they are mounted.

My personal preference:
- high profile tyres such as bias ply, is better 'expanded' but can be pinched, because of the construction, either way is fine
- lower profile radial tyres should try avoid over-pinching because it affects the stress distribution at the radial belts which spans radially around the tyre

congrats man!!

the S99 is ok as long as you like it
speed rating is H, vs the S on the GPR-300, and that's ok

S123 is definitely cross ply - see tyre code, 140/70R17, with the 'R' before '17' means radial, without it means cross-ply
there's a price gap between cross ply and radial

some cross ply I know even comes with dual compound, such as the Maxxis Volans, maybe there are new models with dual compound now

I mix my tyres
some ppl won't

you prefer a full sipe, vs a closed tread?

I dunno this one, so far been riding dry


I have a list last time, best bang for buck was Corsa Platinum series

the straight valves can leak when ride fast enough so bikes using valve stem that points sideways

good work horse this bike
