Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

G'day guys
After 6 long years without a bike I am back. Unfortunately because TReX's are so rare here, I had to opt for the closest thing I could.
A Honda VTRx I hope you guys will still talk to me.
Because you fellas are the most knowledgeable crew on the face of the planet I thought I would ask a question.
Has anyone used BT023's.?
Are they ok? I can get a set cheap.
Thanks guy's
Terry

Bt023 very average tyre. I had a set that I replaced with metzelers and now power3 love them!

Welcome back Terry, no-one stays away for long

I'm using Dunlop Sport Smart which are nice

Best for wear, Grip, wet combined Were Michelin Road Pilot 3s - loved them as all rounders - warmed up quickly, good in winter and Did I mention wet - hate riding in the wet, but these did give confidence

Might go back To Michelin and give Road Pilot IV a try - I dont really ride anywhere near hard enough to warrant Sports tyres and prefer all round ability of Sports Tourers

Welcome back.

You've got a WHAT???

Personally don't like Bridgestone tyres. Prefer an equivalent priced Dunlop.

Hey Terry, welcome back
I had a set of BT-023s on my Trixie recently. I found them to be ok and long lasting
I think they have been superseded by T30s which is what I've got now
They seem pretty good so far

G'day Bob.
I had Bridgestones on my TREX when I had it, and had no issues with them either, But things obviously have changed over the last 6 years, So I think I will go the MIchelin way this time.
The VTRX(Pat. pending ) Still sounds like a TREX so i will have to live with that.
Terry

Welcome back! Sorry about your bike.

Just kidding, I have a Honda too! Well, it's mostly Honda...
