Correction at 3:44 - You cannot flip the front, it is a directional slick. Only the rear can be flipped. KZfaq no longer allows annotations, sorry for the misspeak.
Welcome to my review of the Metzeler TD Slicks where I give an overview about the tires, compare them to the competition, mount and balance them on my MT-10, and test them at the track.

Just a heads up, the fronts cannot be flipped!

That’s an oversight on my part, it does look like Metzeler does not advertise being able to flip the front. I’ll add annotations to the video to correct my statement. Thanks!

People sleep on these MT10's. They are fast. I'll check out these Metzlers.

Certainly! They’ve got the right bones, but definitely benefit from rearsets, brake pads, and good brake fluid at minimum to be track competent. Be sure to take advantage of the discount code if you decide to try a set!

Do you use traction control?

@linglingbraps 2 ай бұрын

Yes, I leave TC and slide control on the lowest settings.

@@linglingbraps ok so I'm not familiar with your bike, I assume there's a way to set it for different tyre sizes? I have an older (2013) R1 and I'm not sure if I could go with a 200 rear.... When I bought it it had aftermarket chain and sprockets on it so the tc wasn't working so I ended up getting stock set in order for tc to work. I'm wondering if it would work with different size tyre?

@@georgenegrics4274 Your gen R1 uses speed rings to determine slip via wheel speed differential. If I'm not mistaken, a sprocket change itself shouldn't affect your TC to the point that it doesn't work anymore. Did it throw a CEL? To answer your question, you should be okay with modest tire changes, such as going the next size width/aspect ratio up. So if your stock rear is a 190/55, a 200/55 or 200/60 shouldn't make your TC go haywire, though you'll probably feel a taller tire mechanically (slower to spin up, better tip in, etc.)

@@linglingbraps speed ring at the front wheel and sensor at the front sprocket. It was 1 tooth up on front and the tc would not engage at all, I could do a burnout at tc set to most sensitive.

@@linglingbraps also yeah I had a 200 on my 09 R1 without the tc
