Product Information

Full details

BikeTek Tyre Warmers are designed for dedicated motorcycle racers and track day enthusiasts who need to achieve optimal tyre temperature for peak traction immediately upon exiting the pits. These warmers are specifically engineered for a 120/70-17 front and 160/60-17 rear tyre configuration, providing consistent heat distribution to prevent cold-start slipping. While they offer excellent performance, users must ensure they have access to an EU-compatible power source and remember to remove the warmers before heading onto the circuit.

FAQs

How long should I leave the warmers on?

It is recommended to leave them on for at least 45 minutes to ensure the heat penetrates deep into the tyre carcass.

Can I use these on a different size tyre?

No, these are specifically configured for 120/70-17 and 160/60-17 tyres. Using them on incorrect sizes can lead to inefficient heating and potential damage.

What should I do if my track has different power sockets?

Since this unit comes with an EU plug, you will need to use a high-quality travel or industrial power adapter that matches your local socket type.

Are these warmers waterproof?

They are designed for outdoor track use but are not waterproof. Avoid using them in heavy rain to prevent electrical issues.

Do I need to check my tyre pressures before using the warmers?

Yes, always set your cold tyre pressures according to the manufacturer's recommendation before applying the warmers.

Troubleshooting

Warmers are not heating up

Check the power source connection and ensure the EU plug is firmly seated in the outlet. Verify that the track power supply is active.

Uneven heating across the tyre

Ensure the warmers are centered and the velcro straps are fastened tightly against the tyre surface to prevent cold spots.

Material snagging or tearing

Avoid contact with sharp brake rotors or chain components when installing; ensure all fasteners are secured away from moving mechanical parts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures maximum tyre grip from the first corner of a track session
  • Extends tyre life by reducing the thermal cycling of cold rubber
  • Durable build quality suitable for frequent track day abuse
  • Perfectly sized for standard sportbike tyre dimensions

Cons

  • Requires an EU plug adapter if used in countries with different socket standards
  • Cannot be used while the motorcycle is in motion
  • Adds extra equipment to manage in the pit area

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your BikeTek warmers, ensure the bike is on a paddock stand. Wrap the front warmer around the 120/70-17 tyre and the rear warmer around the 160/60-17 tyre, ensuring the heating elements are in full contact with the rubber. Secure the fasteners tightly to prevent heat loss.

Compatibility: These warmers are strictly sized for the listed dimensions. Using them on larger or significantly smaller tyres may result in uneven heating or damage to the unit.

Care: Always store the warmers in a dry, cool place when not in use. After track use, allow the warmers to cool down before folding them for transport. If they become dirty with track debris or oil, wipe them down with a slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth. Never submerge the unit in water.
