Careful those tyres ain't scrubbed in at that mileage. It will not be a B-King it will be a F-King. Looks a nice piece of kit.

ken some of the modern tyres dont even need scrubbing in!!! the avon's i got on my bike dont need scrubbing in ( words from avon them self and a local tyre fitter ) and ive never had them slip even with 5 miles on them! and them ( dunlop sportmaxx? ) are usually fine after a good 50-100 mile run Smile

Ask the guy 50 yards from my place about new bikes and running in new tyres. He now has a busted wrist and a £1000 bill. Most new tyres are very slippy and if the manufacturer adds release/anti ageing agents then they can be very slippy.

Quote from expert fitters/suppliers.

Yes. When new tyres are fitted they must be run in for approx 700 miles with no excessive accelaration or braking, they should then be checked for correct seating on the rim and the tyre pressures checked. New tyres are slippy. Ignore this at your peril. Unfortunately we have had customers in the past who have ignored this advice and have fallen off their bike within five yards of our workshop entrance. You have been warned!!!

New tyres can be very slippery (especially if ridden in the wet) & need to be 'run in' correctly to help prevent any accidents.
The slippery surface on a new tyre is caused by 2 main reasons.
~When new, a tyre has a very smooth surface & in order to obtain maximum grip, the smooth surface needs to be 'scrubbed in'.
~Some manufacturers use 'releasing agents' when they make the tyres. These 'releasing agents' contain 'anti-ageing preservatives' which help to stop a tyre degrading whilst in storage. Releasing agents need to be scrubbed from a new tyres surface.

A new tyre needs to be seated on the wheel. This is not fully achieved when fitting a tyre & it needs to be ridden on with caution to complete the process.
~In order to achieve optimum performance, the various components of the tyre (belts, tread strip etc) need to be correctly bedded in to one another. If not run in correctly, a tyre may not give the best possible performance.

Quote from Avon.

Running In Tyres
When new motorcycle tyres are fitted for the road, they should not be subjected to maximum power until a reasonable 'running in' distance has been covered. 100 dry miles (160km) is the recommended minimum (discount any wet miles covered).

Tyres should then be visually examined and their inflation pressure re-checked before riding.

Avon motorcycle tyres are only for use on vehicles for which motorcycle tyres were originally specified by the vehicle manufacturer, any other use may be dangerous.

Motorcycle tyres which have been subject to use on rolling roads must no longer be used for subsequent, normal service. Use of Avon motorcycle tyres on a rolling road (Dyno) will invalidate the tyre warranty. All tests on rolling roads must be carried out with test tyres, special tyres reserved for maintenance purposes, or tyres which are worn out or downgraded.

Tyre manufacturers cover their arse by warnings. If only we could get documentation where they state no running in period, would be brilliant in the event of an off.
