Elite 3 Front Tire

[GaryZ]

The Dunlop web page shows an Elite 3 front tire is now available for a MK1;

 

Elite 3 MR90-18H

part# 4079-84

 

Can anyone verify this is correct before I order one from MotorCycle SuperStore?

Hey Gary,

That is the correct tire. MR90H 18.

Thank You!

 

I just ordered the tire from Motorcycle Superstore;

$117.99 and free ground freight.

I have one !! Its in the system

I've had a front Elite 3 on my 88 VR for six months and 8,000 miles. It works great, and shows very little wear.

 

That's the correct size. I got mine from Motorcycle Superstore also.

 

I run a Michelin Commander on the rear, and they work very well together.

Thanks for the note. I have around 2000 miles on an Elite 3 rear tire and I have no complaints. My worn out front tire is an Elite 2. I have a bad handlebar shake around 50 mph if I loosen my grip on the bars. I figure it's the worn out tire.

I've got one on the front to match the one on the back. Very good tires.

The new tire arrived yesterday and I mounted it before dark and took a test ride;

 

1. Steering seems lighter

2. Turn-in is much better

3. The front no longer "jumps" as I cross parallel road seams

4. No more "head shake" around 50 mph

 

I will report again after a couple hundred miles of break-in.
