The Mitas E-07s are perfect for the TET here in Norway, as well as in Sweden. I'm heading out after work today to escape the current heat in Oslo and will spend the weekend doing a stretch on the Norwegian TET that I haven't done before, starting in Lillehammer and going east from there (mountain area, less heat!).
Morning Proffessori, you made a tedious job look very easy. Again it's nice to see the correct use of the torque wrench and the sequence of tightening the bolts. Using new bolts every time is the correct way as many folk especially us old school guys forget that bolt stretch over a long period of time mainly through over tightening. Have a great ride. Looking forward to meeting up in August.
You have a yellow dot on the tyre indicating the lightest point of the tyre, this should line up with the valve as the valve is the heaviest weight on the wheel. This in turn means you don't need to use such heavy weights to balance. You could also spray the tyres and inner tubes with silicon spray easing fitting tyres and bedding of the tubes, no need to deflate and reinflate.
Hi great video and thanks for the advise about tyres, I have fitted Michelin Trackers to my 450 after the stock ones were gone after a couple of months. My question is what size sprockets do you use, I live in Cheshire and and the best lanes are about an hour away, north wales or the peaks so there’s always 2 hours of tarmac go start with. I’ve currently got the standard 13/52 in but I think it needs maybe a bit more top end?
I'm really enjoying watching your videos mate. So humble and speaking from the real world experiences. Thank you

I'm running standard gearing. Fine to cruise at 65mph and I can wind it up to 85mph for overtakes.
