    I was fairly certain that's why the tires are shaped like that. It makes perfect sense.

    I've run 36F & 42R since I've owned the bike.

    By the way, why do some folks run slightly lower pressures(I have heard some folks do this at the track) or slightly higher?

    I USE my 06 everyday to get back & forth to work and use the Bridgestone Battlax BT-021 for the front & rear. I've had no problems with them and it's getting real close to replacement time. Should I stick with them or is there something better that is recommended? Im looking at Metzeler Roadtec Z6 Sport Touring
