Great way to overheat the motor, too.

When you get ready to sell the bike I'm sure you'll have no trouble selling if you use that as a sales video for how well it runs!

I watched my R's I didn't redline and if I tried to shift I probably woulda fell... I'm pretty short you can see me tippy toein' before I start. Sadly that's how both my feet are when I stop lol. I'm not selling my 1125 anyways after the buell shut down I could only get half of what I've got in it so I'm going to enjoy it

Great smoke show! Ive heard these bikes will start a burnout in second real easily, and a 92mph burnout makes a lot of smoke quickly!

The CORSA III do not compliment the 1125R. They should have came with Pilot Power 2CT. Nice Burnout

Bet that made a royal mess under your bike, i once finished a tyre off in the same way on my ZX6-R, never again as the rubber took ages to clean off.

My first Corsa III looked the exact same at about 7000 miles. Fantastic tire : )

That's what mine looked like. I was running low tire pressure trying to learn my balance point. That sound wasn't rocks but the cables coming off and whipping around. It took out my left turn signal so the paint on my truck is good! What was weird is how fast the tire went from fine to looking exactly like that pic like overnight

Hey when you guys replaced the corsa did you have it balanced? They claim it comes pre-balanced if so I can get it mounted for free.

Pre-balanced? It probably has a dot showing the heavy side, so you would mount that opposite the valve stem, but it may still need some weights.

Doing wheelies will kill a rear tire quickly.

I'm just reading off the website. They are made roboticaly and human hands never touch the tire and if your wheel is balanced you don't need to balance the tire. So I guess my question is do our wheels come balanced? Has anyone checked the rim by itself with the stock weights? Ideally since our bikes come with the corsa already the weights are for the rim since the tire is balanced? Anyone get my logic?

What the heck is with those tires? I swear this one was fine when I left home. 300 miles later it was gone.





BTW, does anyone still have the info on the recall that was done a while back because of sidewall cracking? One of our members has tires that are showing those same sidewall cracks.
