i'd choose H rated BT92's before Z rated 014's on a 400 just because they are designed for smaller bikes and give better feedback, 014's aren't bad though, just a bit "dead" in comparison.

what brand are the BT tires?, yes i am a newb lol

bridgestone :D

Anyone tried the new BT016?

I may be trying this tire shortly. I got a flat on my Pilot Powers and had a warranty. The shop can't seem to find any more of the Powers and may give me a set of these. I'll post a review if it happens.

Either way, I'm thinking of getting them for my next set of tires.

just bought set of continental contiforce they should do the trick :D :D

got my bike sorted out and now getting round to ordering the tyres

probobly going for the BT090's as im going to be selling the bike in about a month or two so want some fun out of it before it goes.

does the tyre just come in one size? dont want to get to the place and then be asked what size i want without knowing lol

bassically i want a tyre with loads of grip and will last at least 1000km so that it will still be in gd nick for the new buyer.

Fine choice sir!

You'll need a 120/60/17 front and 150/60/17 rear (assuming you have a 17" rear wheel as stated in the initial post!).

how expensive are the tyres and how many hours would a garage usually take?, obviously the single sided swingarm would make it a bit quicker :D

i've found a 150/60HR18 Battlax BT92 rear tyre for £92 NEW is that cheap or expensive?
