The Diablo's are better than the BT45's for turn-in and feeling planted mid-corner. They also flick back and forth quicker. Just my on tires since you were talking about needing new tires and I see you have the Dunrocks on there.
Yes dunrocks must go!!!! hahaha. The bike seriously handles so goofy with them on there. I'm kind of torn on which tire to go with. Still working on doing research. I was looking at the BT's and head read about wear issues you mentioned so that kind of threw those out. Kind of leaning towards the diablos currently. Just not sure how different its gonna be going with a 90-series over the stock 80's. Any input on that?
