Subject: SV: Change cooling liquid etc.
Hi
Last year I used Metzeler Enduro 4, and those are the best tires I have used on the AT. Of course not the best for offroad, but quite OK on gravel roads and very good on tarmac. Thay are quite expensive (at least here in Norway) but last long if you put in som more air pressure than the original tires (I got that tip and it seems to be correct). I have used one set of Enduro 3 also. I think they were great, but they are expensive and do not last for very long.
But I am also very satisfied with the Michelin Sirac. I have used those several times. And I maybe prefer the Sirac front tire even before the Enduro 4. But i don't think you get 140 dimension rear, only 130. I used 130, and that is no problem (if you dont live in Germany I guess). Or maybe 130 is correct on your bike? My experience is that the Sirac is better on gravel roads and good on tarmac too.
And the oils consumption: Mine is a 93 with a RD04 engine. I believe that is the same as yours (the first RD07 had RD04 engines). 88.000km. Consumes less than 1L in 5000km. You do not fill in to much oil?
