Thanks for the comments guys.
The tire is a Michelin Road Classic 100/90-19" on 2.15"-19" alu rim. Rather new tire model from Michelin, sale start January 2021.
Same model rear, but 130/90-18" on 3.0"-18" rim. Still have ok handling despite a little flat. 4675 km so far, it might survive 6000 km. All my tires were usually done before that, often max 5000km.
2 dyno runs caused some additional wear too.
I have a new tire of same model in my garage waiting to be assembled.
Plus a stock sized rear Metzeler Perfect ME77 to my brown K2.
Ordered in time while available, tires will probably not become cheaper either.
Tire sit as good it can, not much more runout when measure on tire, just a little more. Maybe around +/-0.15mm more than the rim. Measured at the area not in contact with road without grooves
I used tire assembly lube when mounted it, overfilled it to 5BAR to make it seat, most air out direct.
Did this twice and finally to 2.1 BAR. Honda label say 2.1BAR as max which I have found work fine. Much more will give a too hard feeling.
Just a little more and less need to refill for a longer period
I have had tires before that did not seat correctly, a real bumper. With good amount of tire assembly lube it will not happen. I make sure that the tire's molded lines close to rim are parallel to rim edge.
My front tire before this had a strange bumpy wear.
Fork was very jumpy and flexy at higher speed.
That's why I double check runout again. The alu rims got a set of thicker spokes and nipples than stock with tight fitting in rims holes.
Not as easy as stock rim/spokes to true. Rear have use of a sturdier wheel.
My long time project making the carbs to run as good as possible is probably done now with better needles.
So I can ride a little bit slower without abrupt use of throttle that often
I'll see if next rear can survive closer to 7000km
The blue color is very forgiving. It will look good even when not super clean.
I gave it a light rubbing and wax polish a year ago making the blue color deeper. Yamiya clear paint does not feel very thick so not much rubbing.
After that quick washes with sponges with inbuilt schampoo-wax when needed.
I use Sonax Extreme Active Schampoo direct on wet sponge when really dirty and lots of dried insects.
An endless war with insects.
A ride after a good clean, gauges, headlight and mirrors are covered with hundreds of kamikaze insects. My leathers too
I'll check oil in fork. I had earlier the level at 160mm from top with fork completely collapsed without springs. Recommendation with the progressive springs (Wirth).
That was more oil than Honda stock.
Last change closer to stock level, Motul SAE 10 synth.
I'll verify the level again, 160mm from top that worked well before.
Stable front during heavy acceleration on all gears passing 200kmh on speedo. On a straight road of course, frame is not improved for tough riding.
One smaller road rather bumpy though, its design tease me most of the rides, "wanna make needle to reach 200 before the max 160kmh long curve?" (130kmh is the safer choice and still fun)
I usually blame the cars that block the road.
Higher speed needed to pass several cars at once giving the road clear from ride destroyers that follow the signs marked 80 (50mph). Cruise in 100-120kmh is more relaxing and still fun.
Fields beside road with hares, deers maybe cars from side roads.
Better to ckeck oil in fork now than in season.
Why not today?
