I tried the shinko out on my bus and i have to say im truely disapointed with it, my 60' went from 1.5s on a mickey to 1.7s on the shinko. Anyone on a bus have better luck with this tire? i wont be using the shinko http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/piss.gif

I don't have a busa, but a lot of friends that do and run the shinko. They 60' 1.4's all day long. You can go to www.northwestdragbike.com (http://www.northwestdragbike.com) and talk to them on the forum.

I have a ultrasoft on mine and love it..are you heating it up enough?maybe too much?

how much psi are you running?

15 psi, tried heating it up alot, just until it starts smoking, dry hoppin. Seemed ok to almost 60' then spun, shift to second and spun again. that was the case on most all my runs.

You can run less than 15psi in the shinko - I've run mine as low as 8psi. The Shinko tire is *not* as good as the Mickey though - never will be. The Shinko's are inexpensive and last a lot longer on the street (than the Mickey) - that's why they are so popular.

make sure you are using the ultra soft...the regular shinko is good for nothing but street riding...we have the ultra soft is stock if you need one...let us know..803.285.8093

Well don't overheat it..And forget the dry hops..Only heats up Your clutch..

I ran 35psi last time out with My ultrasoft..and I have 240 hp to the rear wheel..
