[QUOTE="edjo69, post: 814869, member: 12379"] The stock suspension set-up on the FJR eats front tires if you are not vigilante about tire pressure, I know, I killed one in less than 1500 miles from being lazy about checking the pressure, it kills them by scalloping them, once it starts it only gets worse and there is no way to correct a tire already scalloped. As mentioned above start with a fresh front tire and keep up on checking the pressure. Another factor may be if you have the suspension set up a bit out of whack with your riding style, that can eat tires too. The problem is with out the correct set-up and pressure the weight of the bike is simply a tire killer. I had a Gen 1 FZ1 and it had similar tire issues and I was always told "don't take your hands off the bars" which is good advice until you get the issue straightened out! :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
