    Read my tire...

    Ive been chewing through tires lately. This picture was taken after a short sorta mellow morning session at Monticello. 01 gsxr 600 with stock suspension, maybe revalving of the shock/forks but i'm not positive. d209gp-a with warmers, 21 psi. Thanks for any advice...

    Tim I can throw you a take off Ntec and see if the issue is still there and then you would def know if you have an issue but Me thinks it the GPA's as I have 2 that are just like yours

    i took most of it out the day before and that didnt help. i have no idea what is done to the shock, i may have to look for a known-to-be stock shock.
