Tire question
New tires just done 2500 miles ago on my 04 cbr1000RR (pilot powers) my question is why do they end up choppy? I have the correct pressure etc. Don't do wheelies and still they end up being choppy on the front.

RE: Tire question
Make sure your fork settings are the same and that the oil levels are the same maybe. Were the forks ever twisted/moved? Its easy to get the tripple clamps out of align, but you should be able to feel that.

RE: Tire question
Many reasons why tires will do that ..including the above replies..
I find that road surfaces have quite a bit to do with that as well..
I can go for thousands of Klms with clean rubber......then one day I will head out for a day trip and come back with the tires looking like I have been torturing them... all caused by road surfaces that I have been on apparently..
A combo of twisties and rough surface will accelerate this I find too...
Or riding with my misses around on the back on roads that require lots of front heavy braking..[:-]
With me...it has to be these things because I tend to ride pretty much the same everywhere normally....
