Chicken strips

[trailblazer87]

How much unused tread you got left?

I've got about a quarter inch on both sides measured up from the sidewalls on the rear and about 3/4 inch on the front. Ive tried to go farther but the pegs start to drag and that scares the hell out of me:surrender:

Lol it always makes me laugh how people always ask about "chicken stips"... My buddy is always asking "so how much you got?". I always answer with "I don't know and who f*cking cares!".

The only thing that really matters is:

45 degress = good, 46 degress = bad

Is that true? I'm not disputing the fact & I can build a logical arguement to support it.

It's just that if you watch WSB or MotoGP etc, I'd have to say those guys get their machines over more than 45 deg.

Ah yes, that's what I thought

Take your feelers off and then just ride the bike. Less lean is always the goal! Easier said than done, I know.

45 degress = good, 46 degress = bad

Just for clarity, this depends entirely on the tire and the particular bike's available ground clearance. The Mich PP 2CTs are factory rated at 51.2 degrees. The regular PP are rated at 50.6 and I've got no strips left on those, front or back (track use of course).

Ya DefyInertia took the words from my mouth, go to the track, warm up yourself and the tires, and scuff those suckers in, fun and 100 times safer than the street!!
