Ride-on

[basilr]

My wife just had new Michelin PR3s installed front and rear on her F800ST. She had Ride-on put in both tires which was a first for her.

 

Within a few dozen kilometres, we stopped for a rest and I asked her how her new tires were.

 

She said she noticed a noticeable increase in the vibration to the extent it affected her somewhat arthritic hands.

 

I took her bike for a short spin and noticed it, but I don't

ride her bike enough to really tell anything.

 

However, when I got back on my RT, which also has the PR3s and Ride-on, I did notice a vibration that no doubt was there before but I am now wondering if the Ride-on could cause a high frequency vibration. It certainly didn't feel like an out of balance tire.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

 

Thanks.

I don't know what Ride-on is. Perhaps this has something to do with the absence of replies?

Good point.

 

It is a tire puncture sealer that a lot of businesses and motorcycle dealers are putting in all their tires.

 

It can be found at http://www.ride-on.com/.

Yet another thing to question before signing the service order, it appears. Then of course, refuse it.

We both chose to have it put in. Why do you say to refuse it? It sounds like a good product, but any information you have would be appreciated, as that is what we are looking for.

I have used ride on in all my bikes until I got my GTL (because of the TPM) never noticed any vibration issues

I noticed a lot more front vibration over 80 mph after I changed the tires on my 2011 RT to PR-3's - BEFORE I put the Ride-on in. I also had a F800ST with Ride-On and I never had issues with vibration at the same speeds. My conclusion?...I'm thinking it might be the tires. Be interesting to see if others notice vibrations on the P3's.

I have 1k miles on my P3 front tire and have noticed no vibration on my 04 RT
