Bandit 1200 Michelin Power 5 Tire Change Oil Change

Both tires and oil needed changing (*’▽’)

So this time we went with Power 5!

At first glance, it looks a lot like the Power GP.

F 4.235 kg R 5.460 kg = 9.695 kg total. So light…

We’d like a light weight for balancing (*´ω`*)

No matter where you mount it, you can trust Michelin!
Probably… that’s not happening.
This time too… nearly 100 grams…
We can’t just slap that weight on there, so we dropped the bead again, rotated it 180 degrees, and somehow managed it.
I bet the real enthusiasts spin it around to find the perfect spot and get it to 0 grams…

We polished the inside of the wheel with Plexus too (*´ω`*)

You can’t see it, but I figure they’d want it polished at a time like this, right?
If we polish it with Plexus, it should stay clean next time too…

Engine oil change and we’re all done.
