[QUOTE="XLR8, post: 35098, member: 138"] I have Z6s on both my FJR and FZ1 and I really like them. A riding buddy put them on his Z1000 of all bikes and couldn't be happier. I was concerned about this tire after hearing about the problems but after doing some research I could only find a few cases where there was actually a problem and all the other drama about this tire pointed back to these few incidents with the same pics posted over and over. What were the variables involved in the original incidents? It's hard to say. I would suspect that if there was a widespread defect we would have heard of it by now as someone would be trying to sue the shit out of Metzler. I will say this though. I was told by the dealer who was told by the Metzler rep that as soon as you get down to the wear bars, (which are a little harder to see on the Z6) you should change the tire ASAP. I've seen this same advice many times from European riders who ride this tire quite a bit. The Z6 is very popular in Europe. -r [/QUOTE]
