I would say that the tyre is your problem. AC10 fronts have a reputation for bad wear, they're quite dangerous in the wet as well. It's strange as the rear AC10 is pretty good. Michelin have replaced them with the Michelin Tracker but if you can get Maxxis Maxxcross IT Pro's then they are a much better tyre for around the same price. https://www.24mx.co.uk/motocross-parts/motocross-tyres--rims_c350/motocross-tyres_c351/maxxis-m-7304d-mx-21-front-mx-tyres_pid-PM-4904663?gclid=Cj0KCQjw3duCBhCAARIsAJeFyPW1dywFUYHt4Ftb_0xjQXxf9ympJDcYjhIxUk0u_LAP0bh57pcW5CMaAoiWEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

How old is the tyre? was there any aggressive acceleration or braking ? these are factors that will cause tyre-creep. Has the tyre been on the rim for a long time ?
-
How low do you run your tyres ? I never run mine lower than 16psi even in real sloppy conditions. Only ever had one 'tyre creep' in 40 years of off-road riding.

I can't help you with this as I don't use tyre locks Pedro, they're a pain in the ass imo. This is my tyre pump, absolutely bulletproof but a bit expensive to buy........... https://bestrestproducts.com/shop/cyclepump-ez-gauge/cyclepump-expedition-tire-inflator/cyclepump-expedition-tire-inflator/

@Sir Fallsalot Fred, are you out of lockdown now, can you travel within Wales ?
-
Excellent job Michelle. So it's a similar job to removing the SAS (secondary air system) on a KTM950 Adventure , your bike will breathe much better now especially with the new silencer as well ?

No, they're much worse. At least in Swansea some can speak Welsh, they don't speak any decipherable language in Cardiff

You're missing a trick there Pete. Open a tea-bag shop in Huescar, I'll ship 'em over , you sell 'em
-
Being born in Swansea doesn't make you Welsh according to the dudes in Mid/North Wales, it makes you a Jack Cunt

The depressing part for me has been not being able to ride, events cancelled like the Dragon Rally and not being able to meet up with mates on a weekend for some bikes, bullshit and camping. Of course , all this pales away completely when you think of what some peeps have had to endure. Imagine a close realtive dying and you can't even go to their funeral

I don't trust any tyre that hasn't got a decent knob

Nice bit of 'sucking in your breath' there Tymeeeh

Personally I would never mount a phone on my bike, I think it would last all of .......................................................................10 seconds

Its Bucky, someone knicked his bus uniform

I had the shivering and aches Fred, and my wife. From speaking to other people most seem to get this.

I'm sorry to hear that Clive has gone but I for one certainly don't want this place to close. Where else am I going to get called a gimp in such a fine way as I do by Bucky

That might fall into the category of 'too much information' Dave ?
-
It's got to be Tym, that'll sort out the fluff from the weed Good luck to the both of you btw ?
-
Dave !!! how can you possibly not like mushrooms ?

Sorry Pedro, this is a bobble hat , as favoured by the type of walker who hates motorcycles with a vengance This is fly-tipping, as favoured by lazy fucking twats who can't be bothered to take it to a recycling center, I hate the bastards
-
The Police haven't got a clue Clive, Kent has a lot of aggro with fly-tipping and I suspect that copper was got caught skiving anyway ?

No it's a sealed unit from USA, so no dipped beam to the left. It's no biggie as it takes about 15 mins to swap back to the original at MOT time. I love it as when I ride home from work (country lanes, no street lighting) it's bloody ace, the O/E Suzuki headlight is pathetic.

No work today as I haven't sold anything, I'm quite happy to have a day off , especially as I only work 2-3 days anyway
