choppy???????
I just hit 6500 miles and need a new rear tire due to regular wear. I got to looking at my front tire when calling around and it has good tread but is very choppy. I really dont feel it when riding but to feel it with my hand and see it is very concerning. Its an 07 1k with Factory front tire.

That's called cupping, which is more accurately described as scalloping, is a natural wear pattern on motorcycle tires and it will always follow the tread pattern. It is not a sign that you have bad suspension parts. It merely shows that your tire is indeed gripping the road when you make turns. Aren't I smart? Nah, here's a good article relating to tire wear: LINK

Well is the tire cupping, or is it actually choppy/wavy? Cupped is from cornering, but actually being choppy could just be a bad tire. My factory front tire on my f4i, Battleaxe bt010, did this and it only had 3500 miles on the bike. My tire looked like a set of moguls on a ski slope. Never had any other tire have that problem except that one though. but I run michelins now.
