Oddly when I changed from a worn out to a new Avon on my Sprints the bike felt almost exactly the same, by which I mean it felt really good on either tyre, very odd experience. Usually my bikes felt much better with new boots as you have said.

The ABS faults won't prevent it from starting. This is either the gearbox not thinking it can select neutral or the immobiliser IMHO. Andy

Sorry I'm not that wonderful mechaning wise, but dash in gear indicator suggests failed DCT reset process or failed DCT sensor. Critical to long term health to always switch to Neutral before switch off (not well publicised) Have you disconnected battery for a period?

Had them fitted today. Very nice to. Amazing how different a bike feels with new boots on. On the way to get them done I picked up what looked like a horse shoe nail in the rear tyre. Good job it wasn't on the way home. Lucky me.

Motorbikes are very safe. Motorcyclists on the other hand are no necessarily so, 20 years old, more bravery than skill. Now 64 a lot less bravery and a darn site less skill.

Wow, I'd never realised how dangerous motorbikes can be.😦

Tyres are a whole can of worms that can divide/fracture any forum in an instant?! After my NC'X's OEM fitted Metzelers, I had two pairs/sets of Michelin PR3's, they were great and always gave great confidence, especially in the wet. When I needed a set in late 2022, I was offered a set of Metzeler RoadTech 01's, which I accepted, but somehow they just aren't quite up to the standard of PR3's. It's just my feeling, I have no data that I can give to support it, other that the feel of the ride etc? Just as a side bar, I buy my car tyres on wet weather grip rating, nothing othe
