quickshifting

when you mount new tires, are they supposed to be slippery until they break in????

i just mounted my tires and they are pretty slippery.....they need to be broken in correct???

im anoob with tires

Defender

I have never encountered that ... maybe they have to warm up on the road . What tires did you get ?

Is your tire pressure correct ?

There is generally a 'film' on the tires (which is why they are greasy when new). This is very normal, I believe. After a few miles, they will 'break in' and get to optimum traction.

also, question #2

i can lock tight my anti foulers on correct? the heat shouldnt be a problem ???

HiPER

What is the reason for putting lock tight on the anti fouler? Tighten it with an open ended wrench and leave it alone.

Yes as Byron mentioned, there is a coating on the tires so the rubber comes out of the mold easy.

loctite on anti-foulers wouldn't make sense. heat breaks down loctite.

there's a release compound to get new tires off the mold from the factory, not to prevent them from sticking to each other. after a few miles, it should disappear.

HiPER

damn it, i was fixing it. (that's is what I heard but I wanted to search anyway ... found a bunch of motorcycle forums with these questions)

Actually you can get loc-Tite in proper temperature range so it would work. But Val you don't need it after a couple heat & cool cycles it will lock it self. The last time I tried to take mine off I couldn't so don't worry about it And Allen is correct about the tire compound honestly its my favorite few miles after I mount the tires.
