used thia TT91.............. wish i had a Michilin SC pilot sport....... but soft does not mean much with out the wear data and quality rider feedback etc...

No YCY, i have not seen one but they should be here. For some reason when ordering these BT601s you are at the whim of the foolz not knowing anything but "it says BT601 whats the difference"............ "whats YCY or YCX........."

If there were a Bridgestone rep that had answers that would be stellar

Just like if the Dunlop USA reps had info to share..............

Maybe Vee Rubber and Sava will really step up to the plate and get crutial information and have tires in stock with reliable distributors???????????

I kinda thought that forum vendors and moderators would be people willing to step up and do this leg work...........

on any forum not just here at Planet Minis

I mean why do I/we have to find out every little detail? Dude i just wanna race fast i really don't have lots of extra time and money to track down all this $hit

I just raced with the Shinko 110/90-12 in the rear. (usually run the BT601 and before that a TT91) Pavement only @ Stockton. Weather was sunny and warm. I ran 25psi cold, any softer and the tire seemed to flex a lot.

The initial grip was good but as the race wore on it seemed to want to slide a lot. I lowsided once getting on the gas.

The tread looks like it would work good for double duty of pavement and dirt, but for pavement only, it falls very short of the Dunlop and Bridgestone.

(i raced a TB143 w/head and 4sp w/14-39 gearing.)

A trackday junkie friend of mine loves the Shinkos.......... personally i can't see how he holds it together...... they work really well on semi packed clay

MDFlat4 · 05-05-2007, 10:26 PM

Anyone making a dirt/flat track type tire for 12" rims or something close.....?

teddy · 05-06-2007, 10:13 AM

The SAVA Rain might work great, the Shinko 12" motard from Stillwater Xtreme dot Com ala Guy Coopers shop works very well.

gotta fly............

10-32 · 05-20-2007, 04:20 PM

can I mount any size 12" tire like the BT601 Bridgestones on the pitster motard rims?
is that tire a race only tire, does it need tire warmers?

teddy · 05-24-2007, 05:14 AM

It (BT601SS YCX/YXY) was designed as a "race" tire, yes you can use tire warmers.

10-32 · 06-06-2007, 06:24 AM

I just saw the Pilot sports in a 130/70/12 rear, will that fit a 2.15 rim?

Kurlon · 06-06-2007, 06:47 AM

It'll fit, but the profile still won't be perfect.

little_twin · 06-06-2007, 08:43 AM

Kurlon, wasn't it you that said you had found someone selling the 12" slicks? If it was you where did you find them and what did you find out?

Kurlon · 06-06-2007, 08:55 AM

mini moto racing, pocketbike racing, Vee Rubber Racing Tires, vintage racing motorcycles

He hasn't responded to email contact attempts.

little_twin · 06-06-2007, 09:49 AM

Keep us posted on these VEE tires.

If they are worth it we might try a set or 2 if you like how they work.

MDFlat4 · 06-07-2007, 05:32 PM

I have a CRF 70 and I want to change the front rim to a 12" and still use the stock hub. I would like a 1.6" wide rim in black. Where can I get the rim and spokes? Thanks

MDFlat4 · 06-07-2007, 05:33 PM

Or can I buy a pitster 12" motard wheel set with the 2.0" rims and bolt them on? Who sells the pitster wheel set?

I have a Dunlop D306 90/90-12 sitting in a pile of stuff with zero miles on it..

Check the NSR Parts thread in the z50 classifieds if interested in pics.
Asking $50 + shipping.

evilempire · 07-11-2007, 10:20 AM

Anyone else having trouble finding Bridgestone or Dunlop 12" fronts. Some folks have the rears but no one has fronts. I ended up with IRC MBR750 fronts from TiresUnlimted for $75per. They wanted $100 for the rears so we are sticking with the Dunlop rear for now (Thanks D).

JohnnyB · 07-11-2007, 07:35 PM

I recently got a rear from PARTS , but the fronts are b/o till the 10th of next month .
