51 = 195 kg
56 = 224 kg
58 = 236 kg
62 = 265 kg
L is a speed rating of 74 mph.
The speed rateing is a sustained speed.
Hope that helps.

I've now been quoted £125 to have Conti Twists fitted front and rear.
Does that sound like a good deal?
Alternativley I can save £40 if I remove the tyres myself and get the tyres fitted and balanced at a different shop. Obviously this is the prefered choice but begs the question how easy is it to remove the rear tyre? I have a Leo Vince Exhaust if that makes any difference????

| Its fairly easy if you have the tools and the time, if not it seems a reasonable price. |

| hi just had my rear tyre replaced today , i decided on a pilot sport after advice , be sure that the exhaust gasket is changed as they are very flimsy and usually fall to bits if you attempt to reuse the old one |

| Piaggio dont cover the gaskets under warranty now as they have reclassified them as a consumable part which must be replaced everytime the exhaust is removed including servicing periods... thankfully they have made em slightly cheaper as they started off nearly £30 each |

Use some good exhaust paste when refitting. Better than paying £30 on a gasket for a £5 punture repair,ect. Wait until service time then fit a new one.
