[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 41438, member: 257"] Yep. The FJR really IS that much harder on tires than the Conk. It's not the weight. It's the power on call at the twist of that right wrist. After all, look at the weight of the GL1500 and the tires usually used on it got 15,000 miles. While I don't pin the throttle or raise the front tire, it doesn't take much in the way of the loudness control to make a big difference when used enthusiastically. Compare the torque specs and the PtW ratios of the two. [/QUOTE]
