I just bought a bike (a real NESR whore, I might add ) from TheIglu, who bought it from gixxer6. Its a 96 YZF600 race bike, which I bought to do some track days on.
I have a bit of an issue - I am attending a track day this Thursday, and the tires that are on the bike are about 2 years old, although they are in great shape (the bike sat for the last two years, after gixxer6's crash). The tires are a race compound, I can remember at the moment which manufacturer.
I obviously want to replace them, but I figure for my first track day, I may as well leave them on there and take it easy, since if I buy new rubber, its going to be just as slick because it needs to be scrubbed in.
Am I going to die? I have run older race tires on my car before, and had very minimal loss of grip. Of course, in a car loss of grip does not equal my ass sliding on pavement.
