What did you do to your M50 today? - Page 61 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Here's the link to the titanium feelers.... Thinking about getting them but they are bigger and that would reduce the lean angle, not sure i want to do that...

GeorgiaRoller, would you post pic's, of how the new tires look, front and back.
I seen the pic's when there were older, I want to see how they look new.
Im gonna need some soon...front is still pretty good, but the center of the rear, is going fast...I run the tire at spec's but it is showing wear like it is over inflated.

Thanks

Trigger1985 · 03-20-2009, 01:00 PM

Brushed the frost off the seat and road to work when my cage refused to start.
Got home, and installed some some LEDS.. its too dark now to know if i really did good or not.... I'll find out tonight

Here ya go. What a handling difference when I rode it home yesterday. I couldn't believe how easy I could slalom the bike now. Handles like a dream. I guess I didn't realize how flattened the front & rear tires had become even though there was a little tread left on them.

Athens-m50 · 03-22-2009, 09:31 AM

Nice Rubber Georgia.....big difference in handling huh?.....

Question:

Ballpark.....what did they set you back???......200....400...1,000???....I have no clue...just wanted to know what I would have to spend what I have to get a set.

Thanks,

Athens

Also just got back from an afternoon ride with 1BadBaker and girlfriend. Had great ride, perfect weather, nice scenery & even hit a few twisties!

Thanks for brake pads as well!

Mu'cho better.

Athens-m50 · 03-22-2009, 05:29 PM

not too bad.....thanks

263mi of middle GA backroad fun with GR, after a quick brake pad swap we rocked some country roads.

BuddyRich · 03-22-2009, 06:12 PM

We had a very nice ride through some rural areas along the Chesapeake bay on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. My wife was on her Honda Shadow Aero 750 and I on my Suzuki M50.

We rode to Elliotts Island at the very end of the road which stops at Tangier Sound. Then we went on through Black Water Wildlife Refuge and to Hoopers Island for lunch at Old Salts Restaurant.

Much of the trip was on winding roads through woods and marsh at 40 to 45 mph.

Saw blue heron catching a fish, a beaver, large ugly turkey buzzards, a deer, and some fish and chips.

Total distance 126.7 miles. Started with full tanks and on return both put back in 2.2 gallons, 57.6 mpg each.

womper · 03-23-2009, 02:04 AM

arg... i'm jealous... can't wait to get the bike out of storage!

cyclesinct · 03-23-2009, 09:56 AM

Danthedawgfan · 03-23-2009, 11:36 AM

I've riden to work every day since Saturday, boy am I glad we've had good weather. They are calling for rain most of the week so I may not get much more riding in for a few days...
