got bumped to expert class in ccs in 01 fwiw,it takes alot for an individual to outride an oem tire on the street-unless it was a road issue or say a tire that's never ridden to it's edge then all of a sudden take to it's full apex pt

 

true true. Chicken strips can get ya in trouble lol.

 

Won't let me post![:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

 

Yeah, I didn't think about that. I just went to the garage and looked at the tires, the front tire had about a 1/2 inch chicken strip, well the left side does, , the whole rear is scrubbed all the way to the edge. cont.>>>>

 

<<<...you can really tell the difference when you slide your hand across the chicken strip and then the scrubbed up part of the tire.

 

So do you think it'll be ok now to take that turn with the same approach now that the right side has been scrubbed in?

 

I'm becoming a post *****![>:]

 

Ive got BT15 on my bike. I like them a lot when they are warm. Cold is when they get scary.

 

From following this post it seems like your weight might be shifted slightly back, if your rear tire is scuffed to the shoulder than the front tire shouldnt have a chicken strip anywhere, Your suspension settings up front might be off or your not staying up on the tank. Ive rode several different tires and they all work well for aggresive street riding as long as your bike is setup correctly.

 

i have the same issue with the front still haveing chicken strips and the rear being scrubbed to the edge, I thought it was just from the fact that front tires are narrower and taller then rear tires. so if you bike was leaned enough for the front to be on the edge, you would be out of back tire.
