UPDATE: Almost Wiped Out - lost the front tire on my Triumph Street Triple 765RS!
Today, I washed them thoroughly with Dawn Dish Soap and brush with agitation, rinsed, then wiped clean with 70% IPA, after that I used a Festool Random Orbital Sander with 80 Grit and sanded both tires edge to edge, I went relatively conservative on this so a few spots that aren't fully scuffed on the edges where I never lean to, but still feeling nervous.
The tires have 1700 miles on them and they're OEM Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 Tires, would it make sense to just replace? Maybe go for the V4 assuming they're better? Not sure I am ever gonna have full confidence in these tires again...
Only thing I don't love about these tires is I read they aren't great in rain, I don;t go out of my way to ride in rain, but shit happens and I'd like to get home safely....
ORIGINAL POST:
I was riding my Street Triple 765 RS
I had just washed it for the first time using:
Meguiars D110 Hyper Wash in the foam cannon and then CarPro Reset with a wash mitt
I also sprayed some Carpro ReTyre Tire cleaner on the tires and then hosed everything down
I rode the bike about 20 miles, but there were a few instances on the highway that felt slick.
I stopped for an hour and then rode 1 mile, before taking a turn about 40mph, it was rated for 35mph
I braked before got to speed and lean and the front tire just started sliding out, I got the bike straight and rode off into the grass without incident
For now, can only think of a few things that may have caused this:
a) cleaning substance/residue?
b) tires weren't warm enough?
c) low tire pressure -- today was about 20 degrees cooler than it has been
d) some kind of damage from the bike transport earlier this week? When the bike was dropped off I noticed, he bike was on the trailer and the block preventing movement was compressing the front tire a bit, but visually everything looks normal, no sidewall damage etc.
e) some kind of fork damage from transport? They were compressed 50-60%
I guess there is always the possibilty there was left over of some kinda wash in the foam cannon that had ceramic or something from last time I washed my car, but no clue what that would've been and would've been very small amount
