[QUOTE="DrEvil777, post: 29915, member: 552"] Just put Avons on the FJR this weekend. I couldn't wait. The BT-020s made it to 5000 and it was like doing time. Slipped and squirmed in corners, front badly cupped and the rear was ripped to shreads. No chicken strips! :P I tried the Avon 45/46 on my FZ-1 for a long trip and loved them for trips. After 3000 miles the tires were still like new. I always ran Sportecs on the R-1 and the FZ-1 and was lucky to get more than 1500 miles from the rear tire on either bike. Took the FJR out for a short hop with the new Avons and already notice the improvement and none of the "fabled" head shake. I will watch the mileage and see how long they last. Seems that the consensus of the forum is either Avons or Pilot Roads. Shame that Yamaha puts sub-standard tires on such a great machine. [/QUOTE]
