Unstable low speeds

If that's for a pair of tyres, them bloody expensive tyres !!!! £215 on ebay for a pair of Angel GT's and £20 for fitting!!!

But if it feels crap and on 5 year + old rubber, time for a new set any ways.

My previous bike came with old rubber, kept trying to fall over on every roundabout, thought bike was awful, but put new rubber on, and it was a revelation.

 

What are you feeling at low speed ? have you checked tyre pressures?

 

Have you checked rear wheel adjustment ?

 

Angel GT's as in my link. Great all-round tyre, good mileage, great wet weather grip, best sports touring tyre out there. A lot rate michelin pr's, bit I dislike the squishy feeling from all the sipes, plus they ate an ugly tread.
My favourite sports tyre is the latest michelin pilot powers, great tyre but done in 2500 miles on the gixxer.

 

I've been using Bridgestone BT023s for years since they came out but fitted Angel GTs to the YZF1000 today,gotthem scrubbed in nicely today so looking forward to seeing what the feel and grip are like in the wet.
Anyway getting back to the Daytona , definitely fit new rubber if the tyres are 4/5 yrs old , also check head bearings and
triple clamp bolts and check tyre sizes on the bike as people have habits of fitting wrong sizes which can make a bike feel all wrong.

 

Time to get the trolley jack out and raise the front. It does sound a bit like head bearings but it would be the same at any speed.

 

Another vote for steering head bearings here.Get the front end off the ground and turn the bars slowly lock to lock.

 

You defo need to check front end then.

 

What price happiness?

 

Cheap at half the price! What the hell does that mean any way??

 

I smell a trade in for new model

 

what about fork oil levels? uneven levels can cos a feeling of being stuck in a rut.
