I'd check the suspension if the front is cupping that fast.

Finished my Christmas shifts, hurrah!!

Time to party well after I've had some sleep!

Asking around, I've discovered it's pretty common for BT-021's on Trophys and other heavy sport-tourers, FJR's, Concours, etc. I've heard good things about the Pilot Roads, so it's time to branch out and try something different (all 3 of my bikes have always run Bridgestones.)

Bought a new SUV for wifey...2012 Kia Sorento SX...very nice...she's pretty pumped about it...this has to have been the most expensive Christmas yet!!

Later.

I absolutely love my Pilot Road 2's. A friend put them on his Bandit 1200, he loves them, too. Phenomenal in the wet and cold, but with softer compound on the sides for grip when leaned over.

I love mine as well, although I am not seeing the same exceptional life that I experienced with the Original Pilot Roads. I am not sure how they would work out on a heavy bike however....

I'll keep you posted...my MT-01 is 550lbs bike and I just put a fresh set of Pilot Road 2 on before my crash...only got about 800kms on them...(the crash was rider error, not tire issues)

I'll try to do 1000kms updates to let you know...
