    My first 200 miles on the Darkside

    I was running 11.5 In the 1/4 and low 7's in the 1/8th. I was running with full windshield and saddle bags just for fun but I expected more grip. 30 runs that night so plenty warm enough and all that.

    My first 200 miles on the Darkside

    I did a few dozen runs down the drag strip and was a little disappointed. I expected more traction. Even when it did grip off the line, I was chirping the tire through 3rd gear.

    Triumph Quit Ignoring Your Ignition Problems

    Well I suppose this was the next thing to go. I had just replaced the Throttle Position Sensor because of the OTHER known issue (high idle) and went to work. Shortly after arriving at work, I had to ride to another location. I turned on the ignition and nothing. I did all of the usual things...

I tried it again on a section that wasn't as wet after the tire had warmed up a little. Although the road was a little wet, that...

    My first 200 miles on the Darkside

    I'm not out to persuade anyone in either direction. These are my experiences for my 1st 200 miles. Everything in this post is my personal opinion. Please read as much as you can if you are considering the darkside. Form your own opinions and make an educated decision like I did. At the shop...

    BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2

    I'm brand new to the darkside. I just bought a g-Force T/A™ KDW. I've read that PSI is important. What PSI are you running with this tire? I've read one post that said 28 PSI, but that seems pretty low. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
