The Haslams use Roadsmart on the bikes in their race school apparently.
Good to hear, Peter. My rear is a 160/60x17 and the tread is almost vertical at the extreme edge on a 4.25 inch rim - would have preferred a 150/70, but shall see how it goes. What pressures do you run on the track? I've been running 30 rear and 32 front on the road - feels great. From what I can gather a ballpark figure for the track would be 28 rear and 30 front. Hard to find any definitive advice online - some total bullshit in various forums.I have run Dunlup Q3+ tyres on my MV F3 800 for years now at track days. Very good choice.
I start with ambient pressure 26 rear and 28 front. No tyre warmers. They come up to 33psi after a couple of laps. I have never had an issue with them not performing. The MV has 148 hp at 13500rpm, traction control, race ABS, counter rotating crank etc. Completely different machine to what you have. I am convinced that the race electronics help to preserve the tyres by limiting the spinning and locking that could occur without. One thing is for sure, your gona have a great time at the Island on SFQ.Good to hear, Peter.

Some serious HP therePeter. "Barry" Can't imagine riding it without the tech aids! I've always loved the feel of my SF on the track, so the Q should be even better.
