I am in the process of replacing the front Tyre on my 2006 NT700. This is the original Bridgestone BT020 tyre which is now 14 years old (manufactured 41st week of 2006 according to date stamp) and the Tyre has travelled around 17,000 Km’s (I have owned bike since around 5,000 Km’s)
I had a new tyre fitted to the rear earlier this year from memory, and I chose a Pirelli Angel GT for that wheel. I have decided to also install a Pirelli Angel GT on the front at a cost of $189 fitted at my local Honda dealer (I need to remove the wheel and take it to the Honda dealer for them to fit the new Tyre to the rim).
I have just removed the front wheel from the bike and it was so much easier than the rear wheel, just nine bolts and pull the axle out (around ten minutes work) and you have the wheel off the bike.
I am not sure how easy it will be to install the wheel but I guess I will find out tomorrow or Tuesday.
My local historic motorcycle club has a ride arranged on Wednesday so I may just take the NT700 for a ride on Wednesday to wear in its new front Tyre.
