Installed a fresh set of Pirrelli Angel GT ST Tires. (got 9200 miles out the front. Original rear was shot at 2500 miles) Installed some Lightech Chain adjusters. Also threw on the full OES slider kit. Cleaned the brakes, calipers, kick stand and rear shock like new with soapy water and a tooth brush.

I'd like to see a couple more pix of that 200 once all is back together!

Explain the point of having three crash bobbins at the rear like that. Do you like to just make use of all possible equipment offered or all the threaded holes offered or does this accomplish something?
Also how do elike this Angel GT's? Would they work on a track?

I didn't realize I took the pictures before I took the rearmost spools off; I installed the front set and pulled the rear ones off after. I got the Angel ST, not the GTs. Ive used the GTs before but always sold the bikes before I could really test them. I got the Sport touring version since I mainly ride highway 50 a day for work and occasional mountain rides once or twice a month (not super aggressive) + I don't ride in the rain. Excellent longevity with good grip for my application is why I chose the STs.

I'd like to see a couple more pix of that 200 once all is back together! Here's a pic of the 200. It's not straight from the back. It's probably less than a 1/4" wider than a 190...if that. I use both size...it doesn't make much difference. I just got a new set for $85.00 mounted...smoking deal.

Yes...that is a lot of bobbins. Of course you could run Angels on the track...then again you could run knobbies. All kidding aside...if you're taking your $10,000.00 bike to the track and probably paying $250-$500 for the total trip...food, gas, entry fees etc. Don't throw it all away on a set tires that might let you down. Buy a set of Q3+ Dunlop or even the new Bridgestone S22's...my friend is putting a set on his FZ10. These tires are as good as race tires from not long ago. I think he's getting his tires from Moto Mummy for $222.00 before $60.00 rebate. Smoking deal and you can use them all day at the track and go an additional 3-5k on the rear? Don't risk it at the track...that's my non professional opinion. P.S. unless it's raining that day...then keep the Angel St set in the truck just in case.

The ST, GT, and GTII are all good tires for a good balance a nice grip (for spirited street riding) and solid longevity. The ST is the first version/iteration in the line, but they still produce it and at a lower price than the GT/GTII. The ST is a single compound rear while the GT versions are dual compound. I put the ST’s on my Honda 919 but sold it shortly after. My KTM SDGT came stock with the GT’s. I was very pleased with the tires, they had good grip, confidence inspiring and I got just under 4,500 miles out of the rear. The bike did have a claimed 104 ft-lb of torque though and I wasn’t easy on the throttle. Did a fair amount of commuting on the bike so the center did wear faster than the sides. Pic is somewhere around 4k miles. Then put an ST on the rear as it was a really good price and I wanted it to wear out about the same time as the front and then go to the GTII on both. The ST still gripped well, but didn’t inspire quite as much confidence when leaned over as the GT. I didn’t notice a bunch of difference between the GT and the GTII, but a couple of points. The GTII felt liked it turned in quicker/easier. I thought it may be old tire to new tire, but the more I rode it the more I think it actually does. The GTII front tire would shimmy a bit under hard acceleration. Only happened then; under normal acceleration, constant speed and braking did not do it. It does have rain grooves down the center and others who have felt the same thing have speculated that is what is causing it. After I wear out my current front I am debating going to the Angel GT for better longevity on my MT-10 and likely will. I personally would chose the GT over the GTII because of the lower price and lack of those rain grooves/acceleration issue I had. My bike (bought used) had a new set of Conti Sport Attacks on it. I have been very happy with them and grip very nicely, especially considering they are an older iteration sport tire. Put on my second rear after around 2k miles. Price was right at $124 for the rear at cycle gear, but still think I’d rather only need to change rears every 4k instead of 2k.

Another thing I noticed with the ST is that they're more Triangular than oval in profile, making the bike a lot easier to tilt & lean quickly especially at lower speeds. On the other hand, the GT series tire have a flatter, more round profile.

Set of S22’s from Motomummy, $175 after the rebate. 250 miles so far - love them. Rolls into corners, great grip and ride. Much much better than the stock. s20’s which, to me, were slippery and not confidence inspiring at all.

That has to be the smallest clutch lever I’ve ever seen.

Did the inverted display mod. Are you glad you did it? I saw this a couple months ago and was very close to doing it but decided not to.

Tires is always a 'controversial' topic here, but the reality is there's a 180-deg difference from tracking a heavily modified (for the track) FZ/MT-10, by a very experienced track rider, to one that just wants to take its stock FZ/MT-10 bike to the track for fun one day every blue moon. I'm not an expert rider, but for sure above average, and wouldn't hesitate to take my FZ-10 to a track day (with shortened feelers) on the Road5 tires I have now. I wouldn't push it like a supersport, but it's not a supersport, so just to have some fun, I wouldn't need anything else... but wouldn't be doing timed laps either . But yes, if you want to really push it hard, and have rearsets (more cornering clearance), then it wouldn't be safe on S/T tires indeed. Plus you'd destroy them with the heat anyway. So the answer on which tires you really need, is how you plan to ride the bike at the track (and how good you are), and how much of the tire's life. Because the opposite is also true: If you don't ride hard enough, you'd actually be LESS safe on track tires (due to not getting them to the temperature they need), than something like S22s, so it pays to be honest about your own abilities, before choosing the right tire for the job it needs to do. I'm not coming back because the track rats will probably be all over my post... again , but hope it helps.

It’s a bit dark but I looks perfect at night so I’ll keep it. Might do this with the red tho I wonder what that would look like!

Started my exhaust project which I've always wanted to try. Figured being stuck at home was a good time. Waiting for my ECU to get back and the O2, AIS, EXUP connector blanks before I can get it put back together.

Installed Tred Wear Tire letters and a new D.I.D chain at 9500 miles. The stock chain developed tight spots causing clunks and vibration.
