Thank you kind sir for providing that link. I guess i could have googled it but didn't exactly want 70million pages of shit that had nothing to do with what i was looking for to have to wade through.

if your looking to get rid of your chicken strips cause somebody told you it means you dont ride hard enuff,,, your looking for trouble

It could be that you are not leaning/steering properly....in most cases the rear strips should be less on the rear than front.

[fireball]

stop direct steering that should help......

Odd though, I have no chicken strips on the rear

hahahahha....anyone that knows you Jamie, knows that is a bare faced fib

It means you have a flatter profile front tyre and a more rounded profile rear tyre. Normally you would want this the other way around and have a quite steep profile front as it is better to start running off the rear first rather than losing the front first. Is it more of a touring or cheap commuting tyre on the front?

I think you have been sleepwalking out to the gargre where the sprotsbike is praked, hoisted it on a a bit o'wood under the oppo side of the kickstand, started it and got some sandpaper onto the wrong wheel ...

Now what you need to do is to find some chicken or turkey feathers and glue them on the edges what need stripping!

Do you have another confession you want to share with us Brian?

That will explain why my GN250 still has chicken strips on the rear still and none on the front.I'll be grinding pegs before they ever dissappear so who cares,they will have to stay.

dipshit has it right. Mate had a zxr400 as well, pilot roads I think. The profile combination that was correct for the bike resulted in a very flat front, and very curved rear.

As dipshit says, you ideally want to run out of rear first, as its easier to control than losing the front.

Why is it...I have about 5-10mm chicken strips on my rear...depending on the day...but none on my front?

As a general rule this means you are not using enough gas.
Result you are only steering from the front.

If this you are happy with your riding it is nothing to worry about.

He will need more juice before this assists because to get out on the side of the rear tire you need gas baby.

This is because countering without gas results in more of the front tyre being used than the rear.


How much faster did you turn with a little juice when you finally listened to me tonight?

Note: above posts assume you have matching tyres.
