Dunlop MX51 Tyres

[Mark BuntingMember]

Hey Moto .. when I did my first tyre change on the Husky I scratched my rims too. Can’t help it. But I did a bit of a touch up on them with a permanent Black marker pen. It hid the scratches well.

Like the rim sticker too. I’ve seen them for my bike too. Might have to look into it

Good tip with the black marker Kram. I’ve scratched my rims too.

There is a guy on cafe Husky selling rim stickers. Thinking about them myself.

Dragging this up again – what was the final verdict on the tyres?

I dont think there was a out come as such Cathi, the Dunlop people I know that use them like them. I am planning on trialing a set when I run out of tyres from my stock pile :laugh: I am enjoying the grip and miles from the Scorpions and am trialing a IRC rear at the minute. Give a set a go and pass on your thoughts here

Not sure what Moto thinks but I have tried these tyres as well. Have used two sets to date under fairly testing conditions from dry sand through top hard pack and rocks. First impressions were great. Both front and rear gripped like I had never experienced before when new. Very confidence inspiring. However after about 300km when they had lost there edge they went to the pack. I have never experienced a tyre that looses it grip so much once the edge has gone. They are not like the 756 in that they throw knobs and crack up with wear where as the 756 holds together but just wears down.

Admittedly I haven’t tried that many tyres. Well actually make that 3 types. I am a diehard fan of the dunlop 756 (which they are phasing out, much to my disgust) and I have tried the Metzeler M5.

In summary, if I had unlimited cash I would buy the MX51 and throw them after 150km. Realistically I can’t justify buying a tyre that won’t get me 500km so have gone back to the 756 until I can’t source any more.

And they say a picture says a thousand words. I know this is off topic and feel free to delete it but from this simple picture you can tell a lot about a person you don’t even know.

1) The bike is immaculate looking with the full sticker kit
2) There are two chains holding the bike to the shed
3) The chain has a protective covering on the sections where it touches the bike
4) The bike has an exhaust bung in when it is in the shed (and it is a 2 stroke with no valves to protect)
5) The bike (that is already immaculate) is stored on cardboard to protect the shed floor
6) The bike is stored on a stand to take the weight off the suspension. (I’d say it still has a side stand as it has barkbusters which rules out removal of sidestand for MX)
7) I’m guessing Moto is a fairly good to bloody good rider as he obviously looks after his gear to the nth degree but does not have any skid plate or pipe guard.

I’m sure there is other stuff that can be deduced from this photo alone but I reckon I wouldn’t have too much trouble buying one of Motos bikes second hand anyway. This man obviously looks after and has pride in his gear.

I know Nickj was using them and was happy enough Rocket. He also fitted an S12 last time and reckoned it was better again, that said a S12 takes some beating in my opinion.

They sure are cheap enough

Try some and give your opinion mate

I reckon the mx71 tyres might be the go. They’ve only got 19″ rears on sale though. The other thing is has anybody bought stuff from that website before. I’ve got this niggling doubt in my mind that I might have heard of some issues with it but would be glad to be corrected as it gives me another shopping option.

If you saw his maintenance on his 450 you would know that this bike only looks schmick because it is pretty much brand new in the pic.

Plus he cant ride for shit :laugh: :laugh:

[alanMember]
