Ok, so I have been stuck at the house all day, didn't get a chance to go get another air gauge but I did look at the numbers and one was made in 08 and the other in 09...

What would cause this on a front tire ? Hard to see but is raised and bumpy. Tire is a Bridgestone 120/70/17 with 31 lbs of pressure. (I can not find a recommended pressure on the tire, it may be there, but I'm struggling to find it)
Fairly new to street bikes, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Our roads here are a mix of curvy with some straightaways. (if that even makes a difference) Our driveway is gravel, but the bikes are always on pavement with the exception of the driveway.

What everyone says is true. The Stock BT-021 suck, for normal riding nothing to crazy stick with the BT-023's a better tire and last longer. also make sure you keep checking your tire pressure, especially if the outside tempature changes alot. I keep a samll tire pressure gauge that has a magnet on it and attach it to the frame of the bike that holds the triple tree, it is there when i need it.
If you still need to ride the bike over prussure the tire by 2-3 psi and try not to lean to much, the will wear down the center part of the tire and even it out a lil.
This is an old thread resurrected but if anyone passing by and has the manual handy our recommended pressures are around 35psi? Does the tire not say max of 52 psi? That seems like a lot between max and ideal. I filled the crap out of my cruiser tires to about 50psi yesterday cause it was threatening to bottom out riding two up. Hope they don't blow up on me!

Find out a way to insure you aren't going above the max when both of you are on. Maybe have a similar weight person take your spot on the bike.

thanks ill try that. I did fill them while they were really hot though so I imagine its gone down sitting. I will have to check my owners manual for the tire pressure on the fz6r. Car tires you normally just crank em up to max. 35 seems a long way from 52 (which is specifies as cold psi right on the tire so I figure the max is even a bit more)
