  1. METZELER Cruisetec - Never Again!

    I had 2 sets of Avon and now I have Metzeler since autumn. I don't see or feel any difference. It could be the road surface. I was shocked and still am when I see on videos how bad the roads are in the USA. I recently saw a video where they explain the difference between tarmac and asphalt...

  2. Problems after tuning or coincidence?

    Yesterday I met a man who has a chipped motorcycle. He said that he had it done after about a year and a half, now he has it for 4 years and 70,000 km. He can really rub the rubber when starting off, that it is also a completely different life and that it is a completely different fun. However...

  3. Rocket 3 Storm R - how to check oil level?

    The process of checking the oil level has probably been described. If not, this is what I do: In the morning, I start the bike cold, without revving, let the engine run for 1:15 minutes, then stop, open the cap, pull the dipstick out a little (so it's cleaner and the oil drips off it) and after...

  4. Metzler Cruisetec vs. Avon Cobras

    Update after (I think) 8000 km: Everything works properly and I do not think about tires absolutely. No problem in very hot weather, nor in rain. No visible signs of wear. By change I also changed the brake pads. I recommend to have complete set ready for use, because specially is needed to...

  5. Rear Brake Pad Recommendation?

    Hi, is needed to remove rear wheel for change the rear brake pads, or it is possible to unscrew and pull out the calliper when wheel is on?

  6. Metzler Cruisetec vs. Avon Cobras

    Experience with Metzeler Cruisetec: The feeling of driving was immediately different. Suspension on a normal road was like much stiffer and harder, but it is easy to get used to it. On the sides, the compound is again noticeably softer, and in corners in higher gradients I had the feeling (not...

  7. Metzler Cruisetec vs. Avon Cobras

    Yesterday I switched from snake to elephant. First 100km ok, but standard conditions.

  8. Brake Pads

    Solved, bought TRW sintered, both pairs to front for less than 60 eur, hehe. Sometimes is good to be ex-employee of automotive parts distributor :) I could also change the rear, but it looks that rear wheel must go down. Next time. I thought also about Brembo, but available was only LE version...

  9. Brake Pads

    I need to change the brake pads, but I cannot decide if sintered or carbon-ceramic. I need to do it urgently (before authorized service will do it for 300 euro)! Please help, which one I have to buy and why. Thanks.

  10. Riding mode button not working, Menu button working one of ten times

    This weekend started the buttons work properly. So and so, they are already ordered in the service for change. I hope they will do it even if it temporary works.

  11. Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling

    Hi, I would like to ask if I need to jack up the motorcycle when changing a wheel. I heard that it is not allowed to be lifted by placing the jack under the oil pan. So is it possible to place the jack somewhere else? Or do I need to hang up the motorcycle first at the front and then at the back?

  15. Riding mode button not working, Menu button working one of ten times

    Morning update: After reconnecting battery the "Check engine" error disappeared. Buttons did not worked, but on second they started to response. Not perfectly, but yes. I set the date, time and my riding mode. Then I get "perfect" idea to spray them with contact cleaner. To both. Guess what...
