    GREAT New Tire Report

    Well I have now put over 3,000 miles on my new Michelin Road 5 tire. Tis a 150/70ZR17(69W) rear tire run backwards on the front of my 2012 R3R. I have finally found a tire as good and likely better than the Avon Azaro. I love the twisties and at 72 years, I have yet to outgrow the extreme fun...

  3. jacking up bike / rear tire removal

    Ok guys, I'm about ready to hang this one up. I for some reason cannot jack up the rear of my r3. I have changed the rear tire multiple times before, and I still cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have used a motorcycle jack before with a ratchet strap. It was at the rear of the oil...

    I am confused about tire size.

    No I do not want to start another tire debate but I need a little help. I just bought a 2015 Rocket Tour model. It came with a CT. but I want to install a MC tire, again no debate. I thought it took a metzler 240/50/16. On amazon it says it will not fit my bike. What size tire was OEM on this bike?

    Rear Tire - Rapid loss of air pressure (no blowout)

    Bridgestone Exedra Max. Thought I'd pass along my recent experience. Riding home in a Texas-sized downpour in heavy traffic, ran over what I think was some sort of glass/ceramic. Lost all the air in the rear tire nearly instantly. Other than the steering getting really heavy and the bike not...

    Stock tire size for r3t/ Michelin?

    Don't have access to my bike right now and need to know what the stock tire size is. Also does Michelin make a tire that fits both front and rear without changing any of the geometry of the bike

    Tire replacement and wheel removal - when and how?

    I have a 2014 RIIIR and I THINK I need a new back tire, as it has a flat strip down the middle. It rides fine and still has some tread. How do you know when it is time to replace it? When the time comes, I’d love to be able to remove the rear wheel and take it into the shop - partly to save...
