9023 miles on stock tires.

[Billy Busa]

You could probably squeak some more miles out of the front. I would recommend changing them as a set though.

I think that a sport-touring tire would serve you better, Billy. Your riding style is perfect for something with multiple compound construction. If you keep putting hyper-sport tires on your bike, you'll just keep squaring them off, and wasting money. You want a high-mileage (harder compound) in the middle. You will get more mileage and more bang for your buck, even if you simply opt for a tire like the Bridgestone BT-021.

I think your right.
Is there any good sites that sell good sport-touring tires at a good price?

Hey Billy, Damn Brother......Thats a **** load of miles on them stockers Dont worrie about all the "" I'm "CHICKEN STRIP CHALLANGED" also I usually burn the middles out, and the side's(chicken strips)look Brand Spank

I take it the interstates/highways do not have cloverleafs in your area?

 

[WWJD]

Billy, what tire PSI you doing?

 

[HillbillyTom]

Straight liner no doubt. That's pretty impressive miles even for easy slab riding. My stocker BT56s lasted 2400 miles.

I think it is a trailer queen..........

 

[billbell]

By no means am I a hard rider but I have never got over 4500 miles out of a tire. 9000+ miles sounds crazy!

 

[NX95240]

maybe 3k were i live is about i get out of a set

Congrats on the mileage! Your front looks squared off too, might want to replace them.

 

[euroR]

whats the lightning you have on your guage cluster next to the gear indicator, I never seen that on mine.

 

[ky busa]

wish i could get that kind of mileage my best is 5,000 miles out the rear

 

[TIMMYDUCK]

You have one smooth throttle hand to accomplish that feat.

I always have these dark tar snakes chasing me around all over the place.

I just bought a multi-compuond Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart from American Motorcycle tire .com for $107 + $11 shipping (front) the matching rear is $141 .

But for what it's worth ... I use most of the tire (1/4" chicken strips)

 

[Ranger]

Wow, do you coast everywhere?

 

[semperfi]

No way I could get that kind of mileage out of a tire ...unless maybe I kept it in "C" mode all the time. I get too much of a charge out of acceleration to worry about getting maximum life out of my tires. When I start to worry about that I will get another Gold Wing.

 

[BIKE DUDE]

Hope the rest of your bike isn't as dirty as the cluster. The front is worn enough to warrant changing now too.

Billy, what tire PSI you doing?

I always have 42PSI rear 42PSI front.
You guys are probably a lot more experienced than i am. I only been riding a year, my first bike was a 2007 ZZR600 kawasaki, my 2nd is the one i have now, 2008 blue/gold hayabusa.
To be honest with ya people, when i go into turns on a country road where the speed limit is 55 MPH i dont really lean that much for fear of wiping out, i do turn thou.
I only been riding for a year and have to work on my lean, i admit.
The hayabusa is a great bike and im glad i bought it, it handles better than my kawasaki 600.
Im 44 years old and love my hayabusa.
A straight-A-way is a different story

 

[Billy Busa]

I kinda slow down before i come the to the turn.

Alot?

Try the BT021s, I hear they are good ST tires.

 

[BusaWhipped]

I think your right.

I buy my Avon Storms at Southwest Moto Tires - Discount ATV and Motorcycle Tires I don't get as many miles out of ST tires as yo do the stockers. My current storm has around 8,000 miles and it's toast.
