@@frankmoralesiii6908 you gotta be careful when the roads are wet. Now with 114 and bigger engines. People are going to spin tires. If you don’t have the experience like racing in the dirt on dirt bikes. It will take the back tire out from under you.
I have been riding the FXFBS since 2018. That particular corner I have taken a lot as it is down the street from my home. I don't know what I was thinking but I put Hot Shine Tire Coating on the tires. I attribute the bike sliding because of the Hot Shine Tire Coating. What the H was I thinking.@@zarfx4127
omg you put tire shine on your tires!!!!! just clean the tires with soap and water! never put tire shine. you lean on a bike unlike a car. you are gunna hit the slick part of the tire. how did you not know that?
Yep. I had a senior moment. I've been riding that motorcycle since 2018 washed it with soap and water only. I can't explain this one stupid move I made.
I know everyone on here is going to tell you how silly it was to put tyre shine on, but hey, we are all human. I do want to warn you that simply washing your tyres won't fully fix it. Unfortunately, tyre shine is silicone, and the silicone will soak into the rubber. Your only fix is new tyres. Sorry to tell you that, but I would rather you were safe. There are quite a few people that have done this and found out the hard way. There are videos on UA-cam of others warning about it, and those videos have all said the same. The tyres need to go. Stay safe, buddy.
Thanks for the input. I scrubbed the heck out of the tires with a stiff brush, very hot water mixed with dawn soap and vinegar. I did this twice. Once the tires were dry I put on all my safety gear and I took the bike to a large empty parking lot so I could make some hard right and left turns. Looks like my cleaning worked because the bike did not slip out from under me. The tires gripped the tarmac.
Everyone goes down.
The point is to learn.
Glad you’re ok.
There are two types of motorcyclists
Those that have dropped their bikes
Those that are going to drop their bikes
