did a full service on the bike and replaced the pilot powers with pirelli diablo rosso,s
first the oil the delo 400 was made for bikes this oil is the ducks guts of moter bike after three changes nothing but praise and gear box is so much smoother  waytogo
tyres  first the cons of the pirelli,s
there a lot harder too change ,by that i mean in efort the powers go on and of the rim without looking for the tyre irons because the have no wire in them , the rossos being one wire and two belted cross ply,s are much stiffer and seem to bounce a little in the bumpy corners will play around with pressure and suspension
scrub in times takes a bit longer

pros
they are thicker all over
they are alot deeper in the tread so should give longer wear
they dont follow underlations in the road being a lot stiffer
warm up time is just as fast as powers
they stick like sh@t to a blanket
turn in is very easy and bike stays down with very little effort ,took a while too get used to but soon forgot about it and just had fun 
being stiffer under hard braking even in corners the bike dosent move around as much
 the back doent move when hard  on the gas coming out of corners
will do an update when i get a warmer day and get used too them more and finnish of scrubbing the chicken strips cheers bazz

Nice one Bazz. More pro's than con's, so are you happy with them so far?
Pity I wasn't there on "the track" for your test ride Cry

I did, however, go for a ride with the Italian Motorcycle Club. They're bleedin' lunatics Shocked Grin bow down laughingdp


I'll be very interested to hear how your new tyres go. I'm finally about to wear out my Dunflops Roll Eyes
