Tyres for 650

[Z750Jay]

Eventually went with Avon Vipers, mainly because that was all the supplier had in stock! Currently scrubbing them in now I finally finished the oil change. The main difference so far from the OEM tyres is that the front feels 'heavy'. Might be over inflated, will have a tinker over the next week or so

I stuck Avons on my Silverwing 600 last year and found them ok,managed around 5,500 miles on rear

I did notice they look like there is more rubber on them than the OEM ones. Might have something to do with the 'feel'. I will check the pressures and securing bolts before I go out tonight just to set my mind at ease that the darn things will not fall off

Front tyre was 32psi. I know it says 33psi on the side but I have pumped it up to nearer 38 to see how that alters the feel. Will post the results if it ever stops raining!

With the front at about 38psi it feels a lot better. Still a tadge heavy but it handles well enough in the wet and chilly weather that was last night. Back may need a few more psi but will sort that after the soaking I will get this afternoon riding to Southampton and back

Definitely needed more than a few psi. It was only 32 and felt horrible. Now 38-40 and will take it out to work and the for a play tomorrow
