Hi everybody, I'm new.
My name is Monty and I'm a Buellaholic.

I've just bought a 1125R and would like some help please.
Which are the best tyres and which oil should I use?
The O/E Pirelli's are great, I just wondered if anyone could recommend a sports/touring pair?
Also, would Silkolene Super 4 Semi/Synthetic oil be ok?

Kind regards,

Monty.

Monty,
Contrary to the banner photo on top of this forum, there is probably more info about 1125's (as well as an overdose of far-right political vitriol) on the US Buell site, bad weather bikers:
http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/m ... 1253714742
is to their forum on 1125's.

or http://www.buelletinboard.com for bikes w/o the politics.

the problem is, you'll have to see tyre spelled with an i all the tyme :D

Otherwise, welcome - seemingly not as many 1125 owners in the UK... or at least, not on this forum, which is otherwise populated by a bunch of nice, Tourrettes-type people fuck off.

Maybe I made a hasty reply, but your moniker and the subject matter suggested a wind up that I thought I'd politely nip in the bud. ;)

Oh you lovely bunch, thank you for the welcome and all of your suggestions.
I will take a look at the Bud Wether Bakers site and see if I can stomach the bad grammar and lazy spelling of our cousins across the pond.
But,
Does anyone here have any advice on the tyres and oil?
It was a real question.
At the risk of appearing a bit rubbish, I think sports/touring tyres are all that I need on a bike. That and I'm a bit tight! A few extra miles on a set of tyres is more important to me than how sticky my 2" wide chicken strip is. Which is why I asked about the oil, as I just happen to have some stuff in the garage, left to me by my great grandfather, that needs using.

conti road attacks, or michelin pilot road 2's. but the pirellis should get you going just fine as well. Anything you think is wrong with them?

20w50 v-twin oil - the 1125 manual recommends synthetic for the Rotax engine. Mobil 1 makes an excellent v-twin 20w50; Harley "Screamin' Eagle" (you see where all the "spellin' 'n stuff" comes from on bedwetterbikes...........) syn-3 is of course what the manual says, but they would have to, wouldn't they?

I don't know all the available brands in the uk; in the states, Amsoil, Royal Purple cycle max, and Mobil 1 are the preferred.
