Yorkee's 93 TZR 3XV

[yorkee]

Finally reliable enough to running on track again! 



Aftermath:

- blown fork seal (Two new seals in 2 months.  probably something on the fork leg)
- faded brake pad (minimum amount of pad left now)
- worn tire (5 yrs old pilot race, not as sticky as it used to be. probably wanna swap it out)

Need those before next one!

Cool action shot !

Could be time to service the callipers if only 1 side if wearing more than the other .

Great pic !!!
Nice to see what the 3XV really can with someone capable behind the windshield.
You didn´t ask for opinion, but the seals... have you checked for correct oil level by measuring air gap?

Thanks everyone!  It's the only good one out of dozens

They are 5 years old but they are dot race tire.... Pilot Race Soft.  Probably degraded to Pilot Race Hard after 5 years.   A bit scary to trail brake or accelerate early, but enough to get decent angle. 

This is what I did with the Pilot soft race when they are new and fresh:

The brake are wearing evenly.  Just that they don't have too much meat left

Thats what I suspect is wrong.  Even there are pit on the tube there is no way it leak out in 2 days.  I will replace the seal, double check the oil level and see if I blow the third seal.

doesn't look to be too much wear on the edge? what size tyre are you using? Pressure? 

[yorkee]

its Pilot Race soft compound.  150/110 and mostly 29-32psi depends on weather/type of riding.  It is not possible to hit the edge, there is not enough clearance from the exhaust.  (you see the scratch mark)

[Kingy38]

shouldn't that exhaust bracket be on the inside of the footrest hanger?
hard or not, that tyre certainly doesn't look like it's working properly
