Metzler Tourance NEXTs, same as the ones they replaced, which did a sterling 14,358 miles and were still legal if a little mishapen in profile. Squared off tires are better for you to pretend being a god of balance when stopping for a second or two without putting feet on the ground, though. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected to find a dodgy stick coil but after inspecting and testing resistance they all seemed ok. Gapped and fitted new plugs and all seems well again. Just turned 7928miles, should have been changed at 7500 so didn't get much extra out of them. Just waiting for new front pads and an air filter and then off to the MOT station. Did the tyre pressures to find 12psi in the front and 18 in the rear. Think he'll notice a difference when he gets it back. Pads almost down to the metal and plugs shot at 8000, think the previous owner did nothing but thrash it round the block. Bloody hell...how did he even ride it at those pressures? I run 36f42r and can tell if it's a couple of psi down let alone them pressures. He'll think you have changed the tyres too 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Just been checking the 650 over getting it ready for an MOT. Rear wheel bearings shot and the front tyre cracked at the bottom of the blocks. Wheel bearings were an easy fix just put my spare wheel on the tyre is a bit worn on that one but i think it will be ok 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Lots on today. Not sure if I’m up to it, am knackered. I feel a day of skiving ahead Had a packet of these biscuits in my trolley last week only put them back because I wanted some that were individually wrapped for the journey back. Can’t imagine they would have improved my shite navigational skills much. https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2023/07/10/date-rape-drug-found-in-popular-french-biscuits-sold-in-spanish-supermarkets/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss Wonder how many circuits of Spain I would have done before finding the ferry 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
