If this is that black bike you posted pictures of, the tires on that bike are crap. And they're probably 10-15 years old. Get rid of them.

I also wouldn't doubt that whoever spray painted that bike didn't mask off the tires beforehand

The problem with the 250 suspension though is that I don't think it has the adjustability.
this is where i was going. dont think the suspension needs touched, ur liable to make it worse.

10-15 years old? No. 15 year old design on the tires? YES.

The tire selection for the 2fiddys are ridonkulous. Go buy the MT-75s like Hokie said. Or if you are trying to sell it, buy another one of those cheap ass Dunlops and slap it on there.

New Pirelli's are a good idea, but instead of MT-75's try their Sport Demons. It will feel like a new sport bike.
