Author Message   Fullpower Posted on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - 03:59 pm:        just spooned a Z6 on rear of XB. bike instantly steers easier. turns in easy, very light steering. i cant beleive the differance. i have not put the front on yet, i think i have a couple thousand more miles worth of rubber to scrub off the stock dunlop. love these metzelers. dean   Josh_ Posted on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - 04:04 pm:        just put one on the front of my RS (rear is on back order). I know they'll come on my new FJR1300 but I don't know anyone putting them on sport bikes. You think it works better then the OEM?   Reepicheep Posted on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - 05:07 pm:        I am running them on my Cyclone, and am very happy with them so far. Probably 3k miles on my front, 1k miles on my back, excellent wear so far. Far better then the D220, thats for sure! Doubt it sticks as well as the D208's, but probably has a better profile.   Henrik Posted on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - 08:13 pm:        When I wear out the MeZ4s on the S2, I'll be fitting the Z6 tires as replacement. If the company hype is to be believed (?) the dry grip of the Z6 is improved by 20% over the MeZ4 - wet grip is improved by 30%, while the wear rate is kept the same. Sounds good to me Henrik   Josh_ Posted on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - 09:27 pm:        The Z4s rocked on my S3. RoadAmerica, drag strip, rain, touring. I hope the Z6s live up to the hype.   Bykergeek Posted on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - 10:53 pm:        I got a new rear (Z6) in from SW Moto Tires this week and will be putting it on soon. The curvature of the tire looks extreme but I can't wait to try it out.   Curtyd Posted on Thursday, May 13, 2004 - 10:18 am:        I have them on as well, Front and Rear. I seem to lean more, faster and more comfortably. Initially, I felt "higher" than the Dunlops, but I easily adapted to that. I am hoping for longer life than the stock Dunlops, I only got about 3K on mine.   Henrik Posted on Thursday, May 13, 2004 - 11:30 am:        I'd usually get around 6K miles on my MeZ4, so if that's any indication, the Z6 would compare well. Henrik   Fullpower Posted on Thursday, May 13, 2004 - 02:41 pm:        yes the tall center of the Z6 did raise the rear of the XB. it feels real good. steers very much easier, but not twitchy or anything. very nice tire. cant wait till the front (stock d207) needs replacement. never really expected a REAR tire swap could make such a big change in bikes steering.   Bigj Posted on Thursday, May 13, 2004 - 05:24 pm:        Tire swaps can almost always change your steering. Even one tire wearing faster than the other can cause it.   Yeahcmon Posted on Thursday, May 13, 2004 - 06:09 pm:        I've got M1's, they are da shiznit.
