[QUOTE="SLK50, post: 373308, member: 4790"] I originally had Z6's on my 06. Steering became noticibly heavier after 5K miles and positively truck-like as they approached 9K. Really had to wrestle it into turns, though they held a line well once leaned over. It was just that getting leaned over was a real work out. New tires, BT-021's in my case, made the bike feel like it had power-steering in comparison. Low effort, steady pressure to turn in. But I must admit, after a couple of thousand miles, I am noticing it getting ever-so-slightly heavier again. At least I'll know when it gets appreciably heavier it'll time to replace them again, regardless of thread depth. [/QUOTE]
