A Bit of TLC for the CBR

Well I had a productive time over the bank holiday. Cleaning and checking bolts were all tight and not going to have a repeat of the DNF from the Newcomers race at Pembrey.

While doing so I checked over my rear tyre and can see that it has taken a fair beating over the 2 races (20 ish laps) of the Pembrey circuit. I know it was a soft tyre, a SC1 for those that are interested, but it has suffered a bit of  what appears to be cold tearing. Now I don’t know if that is because the pressure was wrong slightly wrong, because it was too soft for the conditions or because I have a problem with my rear shock settings. Which ever it is Mallory Park, with it’s newly laid surface which is reported to be really abrasive, will require new tyres.

Do you have anything you'd like to add?
