MICHELIN PILOT POWER PURE

MOTORC YCLE EYE WEAR

Everyone is saying good things about Michelin Pilot Power.

Designed and made in Italy!

Michelin claims Power Pure is the lightest motorcycle tyre in the ‘sport’ category weighing in at almost a kg less than competing tyres. ‘The lightest dualcompound tyre ever approved for road use’.

Introducing Dyna-Eye Motorcycle eye wear for every style of riding from competition to leisure.

Power Pure marks the introduction of the latest-generation Michelin 2CT dual-compound technology. But its main new feature is Michelin LTT (Light Tyre Technology).

Dione Moto

Ti

Less weight is good of course; in Michelin’s words it means ‘greater responsiveness and enhanced riding pleasure’ but to the rider it means race-like reflexes because that unsprung weight reduction means more precise steering, braking and accelerating bike. And you’d be hard-pushed to argue that wasn’t a good thing.

tania Series

REVOLUTIONARY NEW ‘OPTIC CLIP’ ACCESSORY. Have your optician fit your prescription into the ‘Optic Clip’ and it simply fits into the range of Dyna-Eye frames for hassle free riding.

Available for Deimos 3 Moto, Oberon Moto, and Titania Series.

But don’t just take the Michelin Man’s word for it. Here’s what some real Kiwi Riders have to say about them.

‘After a full day at Pukekohe the tyres looked great, no bluing or uneven wear. I am very impressed with the Michelin Power Pure, and if you are a fan of Pilot Powers or Pilot Power 2CTs like me, then you are going to love the latest release from Michelin.’

‘They provided outstanding grip, predictable feedback and quick directional changes which gives you the confidence to push the bike where you need to. I would highly recommend Power Pures to anyone looking for a high performance tyre that can last the distance.’ Duncan Brown EDEKR001

Deimos 3 M

‘Wear rate looks promising too, after about 100k on the road

and a day at the track it has taken 0.5mm off the centre and 1mm off the right hand side. All in all a good tyre for fast road riding and track days.’ Mike Old - DPC Tyres ‘The new Power Pure is a great all round tyre with great grip in all weather conditions.

They are great for road riding and the odd track day. I have done nearly 1500kms and it is wearing very evenly unlike tyres I have had in the past where the centre tends to go from riding on the motorways.’ Oliver Phillips Yamaha R6.

‘My experience tells me that all tyres are a trade-off, a compromise between grip and durability, between performance and price.

Michelin, however, seems to have come up with a formula to get the best of both worlds with their “Power Pure” dual compound sports touring tyres.

I recently test-rode a Yamaha R1 fitted with these tyres. They are lightweight (about a kg lighter than similar tyres), which reduces the unsprung weight of the bike, and helps give exceptional stability and good road feel. On the motorway and open roads, they feel just like normal touring tyres, and the hard compound in the centre of the tread gives good tyre wear and value for money.

These tyres seem to be an ideal compromise, with no tradeoff on grip or durability.’ David Vinsen For full information visit www.michelinpowerpure.com

METZELER ROADTEC Z6 From $279 Distributor: Forbes & Davies

HOT PRODUCTS ROAD

The Roadtec Z6 utilises Metzeler’s revolutionary Interact structure and compound technology, whereby progressive grip performance is achieved not through two different rubber compounds on the same tyre, but rather the interaction of differently tensioned steel belts.

Less tension on the belts on the shoulder allows more flexibility, creating stickier zones by increasing the temperature. Conversely increased tension on the centre belts restrict flexibility to create a cooler, long wearing zone.

This new technology results in a progressive transition between the zones, creating neutral and smooth handling in all conditions for today’s sport-touring machines.

WORDS & PIC: Dave Wyatt As a bloke once said, life is a box of chocolates. And if that’s the case then buying a crash helmet is like opening a bag of Licorice allsorts – you never know which one to choose and not only that, you don’t get a chance to try before you buy.

Faced with this fact some buyers go for the most expensive one they can afford, while for others something which covers the skull will do.

Somewhere in the middle was where I was looking after my faithful FFM took a swan dive off the deck and on surveying the damage I decided my precious cranium wasn’t going back in there.

After perusing the many and varied helmets available my choice of lid came in the form of RJays TSS Tour-Tech with the flip-up chin-piece and the fighter pilotstyle internal sun visor. At the same time I opted to buy and have fitted a Cardo Scala Rider Bluetooth headset.

BEL RAY FOAM FILTER OIL The internals of a well operating machine consist of a myriad of metal parts moving past each other u under the tightest tolerances. Foreign pa particles are an absolute nightmare to the these parts. If the inside of an engine got contaminated, the debris would cause catastrophic damage. Metal cases, seals, and gaskets protect the inside of the engine from the damaging elements of the environment.

The foam alone works to mechanically trap particles from the air, but in order to get maximum filtration, it is necessary to use filter oil which coats the strands of foam material and gives them a sticky, adhesive property.

Filter oil is a highly viscous oil, so viscous in fact that you can’t even pour it.

When you get a bottle or can of filter oil, it is diluted with a carrier solvent. The solvent makes the oil thin enough to pour (or spray) and work evenly throughout the filter. After applying to the filter, the carrier solvent begins to evaporate leaving behind a film of the effective filter oil.

Since air from the surrounding environment is necessary for the combustion process, the air filter acts as the ‘seal’ of the air intake. It has the important job of preventing air-borne particles from entering the engine as even the finest dust particles could cause engine damage. What makes the job more difficult is it must do so without restricting airflow and affecting the engine performance.

The properties of this film vary greatly between brands and the ISO 5011/ SAE J726 Standard for Performance Testing of Inlet Air Cleaning Devices is the method used to determine this. In order to test their foam filter oil, the Bel-Ray laboratory designed an extremely rigourous in-house test stand based on the ISO/SAE standard which shows conclusively that Bel-Ray Foam Filter Oil are designed for the highest level of performance.

Air filters for most off-road motorcycles and ATVs incorporate foam air filters, which when magnified, look like a threedimensional network of polyurethane strands. As dust gets carried through the foam material, it bumps into these strands and becomes trapped while the air continues on to the engine.

When a foam filter is oiled with Bel-Ray Foam Filter Oil it will exhibit excellent flow characteristics while affording maximum

protection to the engine from damaging dirt particles. As the oil is holding dirt particles removed from the air, it continues to allow the intake air to flow freely through the filter.

Minimal flow restriction results in maximum engine performance. When compared with the other brands of foam filter oil, Bel-Ray Foam Filter Oil is proven to fall within the highest range of efficiency, ensuring that your motor is protected.

If you want superior airflow for maximum horsepower while getting the benefits of a high-efficiency filter oil, Bel-Ray Foam Filter Oil stands alone as the superior product.
