Sylvester Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Ya think ya shoulda looked at your machine afore ya rode it. That is called "PRE TRIP" inspection. I am sorry but if you don't take care of your ride you may be a statistic.
Mike G in SC Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Donny, Something to listen for,,,,, When a rear tire tread gets down,, when you ride a old parking lot with some loose stones, if you hear one PING out from under your rear,, you should take a look. For me, that usually means I am not too far from nylon. Rubber is tight and thin. Mike G

I agree.. thing is I knew it was getting a little thin...but didn't realize it was that BAD until I washed the bike and was inspecting it b4 a planned ride...
Rick Haywood Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Bad I don't think so it has a good 3500 feet left in it.
midnightrider1300 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Posted May 22, 2014 Bad I don't think so it has a good 3500 feet left in it. I'll be glad to send it to you for a spare
GeorgeS Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I have to ask, do you know how many miles on that tire ?? What brand tire??
midnightrider1300 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Posted May 22, 2014 I have to ask, do you know how many miles on that tire ?? What brand tire?? Yes..... over 9K and it's a Dunlop E3 .... that tire was a hot topic.... because I am forgetful... I thought I had put it on in September and only had about 3K miles on it... but thankfully where I had it changed they knew ....I put on March 2013 and have over 9k .......
XV1100SE Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 9k ? Doesn't seem like you got much mileage out of it. Last set of E3's on my '09 I got 32k km (almost 20k miles) You do a lot of burn-outs on that bike ? Either that or a lot of rear lock-ups.

Yes, I know... but 9k miles is better than the 3k I thought i had got...when I bought my bike it had e3s on it and the bike had 11k miles I changed the back tire out when I got 22.5k miles, I have since found out that I got 22.5k out of that tire.. so you imagine when I THOUGHT I only got 3k out of this tire what I thought....
Rich99 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc501/1hondaman1100/th_photo.jpgDon't know if this is going to work, but seeing your bad tire, was wondering if I can remember how to attach a pic since I haven't done it for so long just to show you one of my bad tires. I submitted it, but I don't think it worked, no sweat; was just an experiment. All be dipped, it worked.

Last set of E3's on my '09 I got 32k km (almost 20k miles) You do a lot of burn-outs on that bike ? Either that or a lot of rear lock-ups. Don't know if I should open up a can of worms again or not. Got 24,000 miles out of a Dunlop 404 when then use to use a hard rubber, then they stopped making that tire out of this rubber, used a softer rubber, and still had the balls to call it the same tire; I never made it to 8,000 miles then. But I'll stop right there as this was brought up at length when that first happened, and Greed won over me keeping a tire that got good mileage.
djh3 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Looks like a tread seperation. Or was the pressure low when you took the pic?
