Put MC tire back on

[RDKLL]

Yep...I was riding the Valk so infrequently that every time I ride it, it's like it is the first day with a car tire...
The KTM is my daily for the most part...joke at work that I can only ride the Valk on Tue, Wed or Thr because I carry my lunch box to work on Mon and bring it home on Fri
I loved the way it looked and rode, when I was riding it everyday

A square section tire has its limitations.

Will you be putting the fenders back on?

I got the Avon 200 tire put back on and went for a ride and was really weird. I was riding the Valk every day both befor and after the car tire install and it was perfectly normal and then I got the KTM and although I was still riding the Valk it was much less frequent.
Biggest difference today on the first ride with the bike tyre put back on was how easy the rear tire broke loose during combined braking and downshifting.

And...no fenders! LOL
I was going to take a pic but it looks just like when it went on the truck for the move from Philly to Mesa

Why do you think this is happening?

Different tire, different style of riding. Back to the old days of a motorcycle tire on a motorcycle. But with such a huge difference in the way one bike feels to the other when riding them back to back, this was my only solution.

Air pressure, you lost a few pounds sans... the whole back end of your bike!   Plus weight of the c/t. I bet you could afford to lower the pressure a bit.

Very cool looking bike, teal/black is a real cool cruising color.
