Check the max temp on any set of Warner's you buy. A 250 can't generated or maintain more than 135 degrees during riding. The bike just isn't powerful enough to get the friction rates up.

Many Warner's bring the tire temp up to around 180 degrees. That means you will either go out with high tire pressures or come off with low pressure as the tires cool down to 135 degrees. At Vegas we could only run our Chickenhawk Warner's for about 30 minutes before the temp and tire pressure started to get too high.

We will now be investing in an adjustable set to get the temps right. Remember tire temps don't just affect grip, tire pressure also varies as the tires heat up and cool down.
