Flatspot on tire
« on: June 20, 2006, 09:05:53 PM »
I got a pair of dunlops  208s on my b12.  Got pilot powers going on it this weekend. The back tire has a flatspot all the way around on the left chicken strip. Any help would be appreciated before i put on pilots. :thanks: [/img]

Flatspot on tire

Are you runnin a 180? Sounds like it could be a rub spot. I would verify that nothing is rubbing the tire in that area.

Flat spots are usually concentrated in one small area and are usually the result of a locked wheel. Seen a couple on aircraft when anti-skid fails, never seen one on a bike.

What kind of mileage did you get out of the 208's? I have 208's on my '05 B12 now, Pilot Powers will be next. I have a set of Powers on the 900SS, they are the best sport street tires on the market right now.

Good Luck, Ed.

Yes running 180 and no rubbing will check out barrings when change.
