Hi, I have just replaced the original fitment Dunlop Sportmax tyres on my 09 Z750 with Continental Road Attack. Wow! what a difference. I previously found cornering on this bike not to be the pleasant experience its supposed to be. Not anymore. It is now awesome on the bends and is a real pleasure to ride. I can recommend these tyres for this bike 100%.

Good to know. That's one tyre I've never tried. I'm currently running on maxxis supermaxx and feel they can be a bit skittish in the wet. I've still not found my ideal rubber. Previously ran on Avon storms which I considered to be the best so far. I do about 7/8k a year so need a good mix of life and grip. Im due a new set in a couple of hundred miles so think ill give the contis a go.:) |

Hi Guy's I'm new to this site so trying to find my way round. I also have 2009 Z750 in Green & Black from new. I found the OE tyres to be naff too, but after i droped the front through the top yoke & fitted Bridgestone BT016 found the handling had inproved 10 fold. Now I'm here maybe some could help with a bit of info. I have a brand new green rear seat cover for the Z750 '09 to sell. (never been out of packing) as just found out the wife has got me one for Chrimbo & I collected one direct from Kawasaki today. One bike two rear set covers don't go. How would you advise I went about this? Cheers Gripper |

i am currently running dunlop sportsmart on my 2008 750. i am in the bike tyre trade and have quite a good knowledge of tyres, i have to say when i purchased my bike in the summer i fitted michelin pilot pure i found they made the bike feel very heavy on the front end but since fitting the sportsmart it has transformed the bike into a totaly different animal. in my experience the conti is a good tyre but a little out of date there are some really good duel compond tyres avalible instead. hope this gassa |

Im currently on my second set of Dunlop Roadsmarts. Over 5K on the last and more than enough grip. These tyres are dtripple compound and warm up real quick. Did not notice that they squared off towards the end of their life, but when new they help the bike flick real easy. My favourite to date

Hi All, I have a 2010 Z750 and changed the tyres to Dunlop Sportsmarts, and I have to say I am seriously impressed with their performance in all weather, it has completely changed how the bike handles and the confidence I have in both the Wet and the Dry. I got just over 3,000 miles out the rear tyre before I changed it, could probably have got a few hundred more before changing and the front will see out another rear tyre before it needs changed. |
