[QUOTE="Donal, post: 904747, member: 20675"] The bike isn't ridden too much because I race bicycles and don't ride too much after doing training of 300+ miles per week. Now that I am older and slowing down, I am starting to ride the M/C more, I have about 1000 miles on the new tires. the bike did it a little (not much)with the original Bridgestones on it. I had read the Contis worked well for these bikes. I have 36 psi in front and 42 psi rear. Arrow rotation is correct. I did notice it is more apparent on asphalt roads and not on concrete too much. Would low profile tires such as these cause such a thing? I have the suspension (front and rear) at medium and the rear lever on soft. I only weigh 145 lbs. I would say your front pressure at 36psi is a bit on the low side. The recommended pressure is 39 psi and some go higher than that. Don [/QUOTE]
