        Diablo Rossos, will be swapping for DCIII's at the end of next season.
        90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

                    120/70 n 150/70 Conti Road Attacks. Absolutely love them on dry pavement, (even the occasional off road adventure up the ditch) but I hate them on wet roads. Some people say they are great in the rain, I flat out don't like em for it. I can run them VERY aggressively in the twisties if I want and they stickkkkk. They are starting to cup some which gives you a good little vibration at 95 to 120 or so, but I am also approaching 11,000 miles on them. I'm getting ready to get some new condoms here in a short, have been looking at others because of my dislike for them in the rain, but I will probably get the RA's again because I can't immagine something holding better for hard play. Just my experience with them. Ohh, and I do ride in the rain A LOT.

                      I ran a set of the Road Attacks on my pre 600 Kat, and never had any traction problems with them, even in the rain. I currently am running 120/70/17 Pilot Power 2ct front, 180/55/17 Pilot Road 2 rear tires on my 05 GSX-R750 and like that combo much better than the Road Attacks, so will probably put the same on the Kat eventually, but with a 160 rear on a post wheel.

                            120/70ZR17 - 150/70ZR17 Bridgestone BT021's. so far I love them. Good on wet and dry, love them in the twisty's. Drove a triumph speed triple with Dunlop G2's on them and them are amazing..switching to those next season.
