In front of one Pirelli Scorpion XC Mid-Soft

Rear a Pirelli Mt 16 4.50-18.

Yep we all know they run better with lots of stickers on them.

Today I removed my S3 23oz flywheel weight in my EC250. I purchased it before I installed the rekluse clutch and it really smoothed out the power and would lug quite low without stalling. I loved it.

However, after installing the rekluse, I couldn't lift the front wheel with throttle alone since the RPMs wouldn't come up quick enough. I was having to muscle it up and got only marginal results.

Removing the FWW brought back the snappy response! It was wheelie time tonight...

I mounted up (no miles yet) my new Pirelli Garacross MT16 120/100-18. I went this route due to the favorable reviews I've read on it coming from the N.E. The rocks and roots are what we encounter here in bluff country and this tire still has good wrap around tread for aggressive corners. It's old school looking but I'm anxious to try it out!

Removed the Rekluse Z-start from the '06 200. The plan is to install it in the '15 200 during the weekend if time allows. We expect a visitor this weekend; our 18 months old granddaughter is staying with us. That may limit available workshop time somewhat

I'm sure you'll like this tire! It is my favorite.

Out of curiosity, how much you paid for it? I wonder why this tire is produced at the factory of Pirelli which is 200 km from my house.

You probably paid less than I here ....

The 120 can be had on Ebay for $83.90 free freight. I got mine local for that plus tax to support my local parts guy.
