Default 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.

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.

Well that sounds normal then, I have been hitting twisties a bit, as far as properly balanced, I hope so, I had a local dealer do it!

That's for damn sure, it doesn't cost much at all.
