lol was asking i got a flat should i patch it up or get a new tire ? and read the rest and help me out with the rest of the question on what size tire to get if i do get a new tire for my bike i got a flat in the rear

 

Get a new tire... it will cost you around $100-$125, maybe less if you have a hookup, plus $50ish for labor unless you do it yourself...

Think of it this way, say you decide to do a 30-150mph burst and at 120 your tire pops or something from that little hole... better safe than sorry on two wheels.

I would use the one you have a whole in now for a nice burnout video

 

Get a new tire, patches are bad for any tire, especially when you only have two wheels

 

I also say get a new tire first chance you get. But you can put-put around on the patched tire until then. Just dont forget you're patched back there and go to hyper speed!

 

New tire all the way, don't want a blow out while you are riding

 

I got mine patched and already puit 2000 miles on the patched one with no problems--hard riding and burnouts--still cool

 

I'll go with an new tire...should i change my size ? i have an 190 rear should i go 200 ? its an '02 954 RR and where can i order a tire for that price of 100-125 i looking to replace my stock brand Bridgestone and what about handle stablizer , what brand or which is best ?

 

If you're into the "twisties," look into getting a 180/55/17. The profile of this tire makes shifting from side to side a breeze. If not, save your money and go with the stock setting of 190/50/17. There isn't much to benefit off the 200/50/17 (except poser points). If you don't have a cheap local shop in mind, definately try

They have good prices and ship to your door for $8 a tire if you order thru the net. I have the same bike, and I recommend staying away from the stock Bridgestones (aka Slipstone Battlewaxes). Look into Metz M1 or Pirelli Diablo. Great rubbers! Just try to change the tires in pairs (with this I mean same brand and model) since the front and back were designed to work with each other.

As for stabilizers, look into Scotts (which I personally have), or if you have money to burn, opt for the Ohlins. Both are praised by many. If you're on a budget, other brands like GPR, Tobey, or anything silimilar should be fine. Having a decent stabilizer is much better than no stabilizer at all (especially on the 954, which gets flighty under hard acceleration).

Get a new tire... the sportec M1's are good tires... Go with a 180 instead of a 190 it dips into the corners easier... and if you want a steering damepener i like the SCOTTS steering dampener

 

toby is nice,dunlops are nice tires too,you chose though and ask you dealer or other dealer......good luck

The only DUNLOPS i'd ride on are GP's regular 207's and 208's are

 

patch it to get you through the weekend and get a new tire asap. I know how you feel. I've got the same bike, but 03, I would stick with the 190.

 

Definitely get a new tire, they are the single most important safety aspect on your bike and to compromise on that is to compromise you life.

I personally like Metzelers. I run the M4's and they kick ***.

Cheers,
Roy

 

M1's or diablo's like someone said. and as for a dampener get the scotts, very good and you can also put it on another bike if you happen to sell yours.
