Yamahas aren't that bad mate. It's not like it's a Ducati.

If you hang off a little you'll be able to get your head down

It must help surley a skinny tyre will have less of a contact patch??

 

Warm tyres too though.

 

No kev it makes no difference a 180 tyre on a 600 has tge same size contact patch

Yes Kev, about 0.05%
Technic is 95% of everything

 

I had the principle explained to me by a michelin rep, he was telling me about pushbike tyres but the principle is the same for everything.
All being equal (weight and tyre pressure) no matter what size the tyre is, the area of the contact patch is exactly the same, what matters for pushbikes is low rolling resistance, it goes against logic slightly but for a racing bike a 25mm tyre has lower rolling resistance than a 23mm tyre because a shorter wider contact patch rolls better than a long narrow one and the larger air pocket means that the tyre deforms and regains its shape better over bumps.
