I just had a bridgestone battlax BT014 190/50 tire put on the rear, the tire has about 2-300 miles on it and i went to power the front end up and all the rear wheel does is just spin... is this tire to soft/hard? um just need to break it in more? whats the deal?wont come up with clutch or powering it up.

 

don't trust it in twisties if it's spinnin doin lifty. I don't know much a bout tires.

 

hmm never thought about that... good point.

 

you might have an aged tire as well.....

 

Break it in a bit more. Unless the road is wet or VERY cold a BT-14 should stick no problem. What pressure are you running in it? Also...the profile is screwed up because you SHOULD have a 180 on the rear. You are pulling the tire in more and changing the profile......you might not have as much rubber on the road as you think.........put a 180 back on it.

 

air pressure must be at 50 PSI!
014s stick well...
definitely should stop riding in the dirt.
