Pilot Roads

Should not be installed on an FZ1. If you encounter this combo ignore the manufacturers recommended tire pressure settings & hope for the best or i promise you'll soon experience some less than zen moto moments Carry on....

I hate when I lose my Moto-Zen.

I liked the PR2CTs on my 2nd gen FZ1. I think i probably ran them 35-36psi.

[jayth]

I'll be spoonin' on some powers soon as these OE slugs have been toasted.
yeah I aired 'em up for the warmer weather made for an interesting ride to work......

Michelin's rec. tire pressure is what the bikes owners manual says. Set cold.

manual shmanual Tires list max pressure only 42fr 42rr sticker on moto reads 36fr 42rr I'm goin' back to 32fr 36rr. I was hopin' to get a season outta them but i guess i'll just tighten my belt till i can shell out for powers

Are you talkin' PR's or PR2CT's?

My experience with the original PR's on my Gen 1 FZ1 was.. meh, but the 2CT's are great. I run factory standard pressure (36/39).

[jayth]

PR'S I haven't sampled 2ct's yet

[scottfromboston]

Yeah, totally different. I highly suggest the 2CT's. You'll smoke through a Power rear, IMO.

I hear ya. I've gone through multiple sets on 3 different bikes mileage is not
on a powers agenda

True that. I don't ride too hard, but they're certainly confidence-inspiring. Can't tell any real difference between them and my friends' R6 on straight Powers, when leaned over.

Hmmm.....maybe change could be good..

You should try the Michelin Pilot Road 2. More money, but you will get significantly more life and performance out of them. They will be a much better value in the long run.

If you feel you must have a hypersport tire, try the new Pilot Pure. Not that much more than the Power 2CT, but a significant leap in technology from the older Power and Power 2CT.

There is an interesting write-up on the Pure in the new RRW mag.

Ya I'll start shoppin' soon as the old bank account recovers a little. I just find
it suprising that the big three continue to spec out touring tires for 100+rwhp
motorcycles......I'm real interested in the 2ct because at this point i haven't
spun up the pr unless I was heeled over.

The Concours 14 and the FJR1300 put out well over 100HP and do quite well with a Sport touring tire.

Do you really use everything a Power can give you on the street?

I like to look at it as takin' every advantage I can ya know? And if the opportunity presents itself i'm in for 8/10ths.
