Hi

New to forum, back to biking.

Just recently bought an RD350F2 to ride for the summer, back tyre is about done and wondered if any RD riders can suggest the best tyres for the summer months. Hopefully will be mainly dry miles unless caught out by the weather. Since buying the bike have noticed that it is really skittish when on the white lines!! Sometimes scaringly so as I whip out to overtake then again when crossing to pull in.

Is this normal for the narrow tyred RD's. Current tyres are Avon Roadrunners which I used to use on my RD200 many many years ago.

Any suggestions welcome

cheers

Dave

White lines are skittish and have been all my life. Don't relie on a tyre to save you. Learn to cross at the right point.

Thanks both, will have a look at the Bridgstones. Never noticed white lines being so troublesome in my youth but perhaps not as wary back then.

Mine is a '74 RD200.. I just got it running (hasn't since 1978...!)

Tires are original.. but can't seem to find Yokamaha anymore (front is 2.75-18, rear is 3.00-18).

Seems that there are some that are close.. IRC makes one that might work on the back, but doesn't make one for the front..... CS has the reverse issue...

Any suggestions?

dunno if you can get dun,lop K82,s over there they are good and should come in those sizes or michelin M45,s
