I have a GL1500 and just installed a set of Shinko radials for the 1500. The tires handle and ride great. My question is with new radial tires do they normally smell like hot rubber after a ride? I have had these tires on for a little over a thousand miles. And every time I pull into the garage it smells like hot rubber.
I checked and nothing is rubbing. The tire is very warm. Seems to be more so than the bias tires I have ran in the past. I am going on a MDA ride tomorrow. I am going to take a temp gauge and try to ride with someone on an 1800 to check their radials against mine. Any thoughts??
