    Roll up, roll up. I present to you the perfect tyre match to the mighty Varadero. It sticks, it won't slip and it'll make you damn quick.

    The one, the only Michelin......Road Pilot!

    Well, i'll be going for a pair too, after BS, I've got on a bike.
    I made 800 km till now, 500 today. Someone said, it's totaly diferent bike than @. My impresions are like riding fat @, with good seat, enough power, and trustworthy front tyre. Everything else is so familiar . I was riding my @ roads only, so I don't think I lost something buying a Vara. One thing that bother me. When I move the bike I hear noises (not voices!! ) from front disc, like there is not enough room between pads and disc?!? Is this normal on new bike?
    Something more; is an engine oil, wich is in for first 1000 km diferent than "ordinary" engine oil?
    TIA

    The noise from the front brake pads is normal. If you have a center stand spin the front wheel and you see it doesn't bind so it's nothing to worry about.

    Not sure what you mean about the oil. If it's the fact the oil is being changed at 1000kms this is normal to clear the engine of any swarf during the initial running in period.

    I heard, but I don't know if it's true, that oil wich is put in for the first 1000km is not just ordinary oil. It suposed to be special oil for initial running in period. I'm just courious, couse it's first time I hear that.
