  1. Tyres

    Fellow Aussie R3 owners will be painfully aware of how much we are shafted over here on tyre prices. I seem to recall hearing someone say that significant savings can be made by ordering tyres online from the US. Has anyone else heard this? Will installers here fit tyres not purchased from...

  2. Rear brake grinding
