Wrong tyres for road riding ? Big difference ?
Attached I have a picture of my tyres on my 125cc adventure bike. Now I am not planning to do any off roading with it. Could it be Wise to change to more road type of tyres ? Would I feel big difference in confidence on the road while making corners ? Or is it just a small adjustment ?

@Gert Massaer it's definitely could be a concern. The fear will be in the back of your mind whenever you're leaning in for a turn. The best thing you can do then is to just make sure that you take each turn carefully. Carefully means I'm not going to rush through this turn as fast as possible. Tell yourself that every single time you go through a turn. When it comes to turns in traffic like at an intersection, these tires are perfectly fine. They will hold up well with traction

@Gert Massaer think of the parking lot as the gym. You go there consistently you get stronger and stronger. But then now it's time to help somebody move their apartment or house. It can be extremely tough and awkward with all the different big pieces of furniture , but the strength that you put in at the gym allows you to manage it. So when you go to the parking lot you feel confident and strong and the street gives you some really weird situations that you normally would fail at if you didn't put in the work in the parking lot. So don't discount the hard work that you're putting in the parking lot

How to deal with Fear
If I fear I will not push me to learn new skills. If I do not fear anything, I will put myself a life threat. So what should I do to overcome the fear? As per my knowledhe and learning, to overcome the fear, I have to learn the skills and techniques and in spesific deal with fear, I have ride with a little bit fear. That is out side of my comfort level but not much beyond my limits. If I ride with a little bit fear, then my bravery will increase and whenever a panic sichuatio will hapen I will not be afraid. Is my concept is correct? @Daniel Tolomei Sir, to deal with traffic fear I ride a little faster than usual traffic, swerving one vehicle and planning to swerve the other.

Fear is good. Everyone has fear. To get over fear is to just do the thing while scared. You have to expose yourself to situations that cause you fear, but in a controlled way. Ride in traffic when it's not rush hour. Slowly add in more traffic as you gain more confidence. Practicing your emergency maneuvers and developing confidence there also helps. The fear doesn't go away, you just become comfortable with it.

@Suja Khan there's always going to be some kind of fear but the more skill you have and the more experience you have with it as long as you practicing consistently. Just keep at it and never push yourself into a panic. The moment you feel like you're panicking go ahead and pull over reset and either continue the ride or go home

Howdy SRC!
I’m about 3 years into my street riding career with my trusty Himalayan 411 (2021). It primarily serves as my commuter with a few long trips to take rider training. It’s in the pieces now that I’m giving myself the goal of doing as much possible maintenance. I just took the wheels, brake pads, and chain off for the 1st time (so much dirt & gunk by the front sprocket). I’m on the hunt for new tires to try installing myself. Wish me luck!

Emergency Braking Practice
I do emergency braking practice whenever I get time on weekend. At speed 40kms/h, I gently apply the rear brake and front brake simultaneously. The harder the front brake the lighter the rear brake. Today I notice one thing, I can stop my bike by 15.5 feet to 16 feet. But whenever I use only the front brake then I can stop the bike less than 15 feet. What is the cause of this? Can anyone narrate please.

When you apply any brakes, the front end of the car or motorcycle drops down. More weight on the front tire/tires. More weight means more traction. More traction, better braking power. Hence, the front Brake stops you quicker Old video I made describing parts of it https://youtu.be/cLczVjowtf8

Slow speed woes?
Hey SMART rider crew! I’m reviewing my slow speed drills after some time off of my ZX6R. I’m ending up way too wide through turns. I have NO trouble with the drills on my R7 (which is similar in size) but feel like I have a much more limited turning radius on th ZX6R. Any advice?
