MINE ARE HUGE :rockon:
there should be no shame in taking it easy before getting shipped away
like new tires and was just taking it easy around town before getting deployed.

I know this is a few weeks old, but anyone got pics of the front tires? My rears barely have any strips on them, but my fronts are thick lol.
dude, those tires are shot... get some new ones...

Haven't you heard? They are inversely related to the size of your package.:ban:

I have 1/4" to 1/2"
How fast are you all going on say a 35mph turn to get to the edge? I can't seem to go fast enough (75ish) to merit going that low, I always end up pulling up a bit so as to stay on the road. Maybe I'm doing it wrong

Mine are worn down by half. I'm pretty sure it will be awhile before I can totally eradicate them. I don't do any serious leaning.
:rof: I see... well mine are very very small indeed then

oh my... am I reading this right? you're going 75mph around a 35mph turn in order to get rid of your chicken strips?

+1 This is the only place I care to look for tire degradation. It's not a trophy or medallion that signifies "Dominance" on the street. Get over it.
I like chicken strips however I prefer a good basket of fish and chips with malt vinegar! :thumbup:
I believe that Albert Einstein created "The Theory of Chicken Strip Proportionality to Brown Strip Relativity" in about 1932, or maybe it was 1933...This theory has a direct link to the space and time continuum.

No power slides for me
Only a slight hi-jack here. I notice that the strip on my left side is about an 1/8th narrower that on my right. Anybody else have a better lean one way than the other? (I have a pretty major left eye dominance so maybe...?)

Chicken strips can be an indicator of how you ride, BUT, it makes a HUGE difference on the radius of the tire. A very high profile tire you may have chicken strips but may be a faster rider than someone who has a lower profile tire with no chicken strips.

I think most people have a side they are more comfortable with. I have none left on the right, 1/8" on the left.
I think it's like boarding, you have one side that is stronger. Hmmm.... I ride right foot forward, and my right side is stronger. Coincidence? :eyebrow:

As of lately I have no more then 1/2 inch on the Wifes FZ6 and on my FZ1 I have about the same. But that will change I hope after this Friday I have off and I out to hit the twisties.

Have no chicken things ...
If you really want them gone.
Just find a good corner you know, warm up your tire's by running the corner ( or set of corners ... ) a few times.
And just build up and lean in more and go faster bit by bit, until your peg thingy's scrape the ground. Voila, strips gone. The FZ6 wil do this with pleasure :thumbup:.
ps: Make sure you're running good tire's !!!! No old or worn one's :spank:

The only twisty road near my house is the park and I'm always afraid I'm going to lean over too far and then immediately get decapitated by an oncoming SUV who can't stay in their lane.
