[QUOTE="Old Guy, post: 1195219, member: 35438"] Normal, sort of. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] A lot of people here go through a front first. If you run a lot of crooked roads and use the front brake a lot, it can wear more quickly. If you run the 36psi that Yamaha recommends in the front tire, it can wear more quickly. If you've gotten 10,000 out of the rear, you're not a hard charger out of corners. Maybe you're a late braker that just puts more wear on the front. My fronts usually outlast the rear but not twice as long. Probably half to 2/3 of my FJR miles are on the interstate just cruising along at 75mph. I may go 200 miles between gas stops and never touch the brakes. The front gets about as much wear as your average trailer tire [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] I do play on Arkansas twisties a lot too, but that's divided about equally between the two bikes.
