Chicken strips

[Grubber]

Some pretty good advice in this thread.....

I used to call my chicken strip "Life lines" when I first started...All my mates who used to give me shit about them,funnily enough have all binned at least one of their bikes over the years. As for me touch wood, Never.

I don't have chicken ....I mean "life Lines" anymore not that I have tried to conciencously work of getting rid of them.
Over time, as said early as your confidence grows and techinques improve the "life Lines" slowly became a thing of past.

I'm no more reckless then when I started.

Until then be assured that the "life lines" mean your upright !!!

Safe riding !!!

And another good statement. Well done young man!

And for my next lesson... I will describe the process of replacing piston rings and and honing the bore....all through the spark plug hole, with out dismantling the engine.....

Shouldn't be too difficult. Surgeons do it with the motor running.

[/IMG]Hampton downs, 2 lap warm up and get yr balls onboard for max lean angle whilst applying smooth power out of the bendy bits

[Cheshire Cat]

go faster, lean more, do a motott trackday if you fall off you fall off, who gives a shit just try and land right

as for sanding your tyres, get a fucking day job. how pathetic can you get!

this is how i get rid of my hyosungs chicken strips........light work.....

Indeed, that is definatly the best way! Also the safest... 2 laps or so should be enough, half if you have tyre warmers(heat!)
i still have a cm on the front to get rid of...

[Chrislost]

The best way to judge it the correct amount of heat has been generated is by feeling the tyre with a dry finger. If done correctly the surface will feel tacky.

The tackyness is all the oils coming to the surface,
basicly the tyre is bleeding to death

Having no "lifelines" wouldn't have anything to do with speeding on the way to the cape last weekend would it??? Its all in evidence!!!

Can the relative size of your chicken strips tell you anything about your riding style? Ie, I have around 1cm at the back, maybe a touch more, but no more than half a cm at the front.

[Leseid]

I'd be more worried about scrapping your toes on the ground before you'll start to use the extreme sides of your tyres. I've ridden with some relatively inexperienced riders (my self included) and noticed they like to lean ridged with their bikes to try and ware the chicken strips.

I might be wrong here, but I get the impression that under extreme lateral loading the tyres profile deforms and its then when you start to wear your chicken strips away rather than steep lean angles alone.

Think tyre higher tyre pressures help.

What is more telling about riding styles than chicken strips is trad depths across the face of the tire. Measure several depths accross a new tire then again every 1000km or so. You may notice some uneven wear due to camber. I found I would take LH corners with much more confidence than Right handers, after that I put more effort into the RHer's
