Get the new Michelin PP's...they have a high center, and angle to the edge...easy to get rid of your strips.

They did this to get better grip on the track...the easier chicken removal is a side benefit...

If all else fails...get some 1000 grit sand paper and sand them off.

That way...the POSE is complete.

I actually do have the pilot powers, since starting the thread my strips have been reduced quite a bit.  Ive actually been able to wear the tire to the middle of the little michelin man on the edges.  I'll keep at it though.

I was thinking the same thing!! If at all possible i'd greatly apprecate a copy of that. Sorry back to the thread.... I've talked to a few guys that ride the track on a regular basis and I had the same concern, however the first thing they asked was what size rear tire are you running on that 600? I also have a 190 rear tire and was advised to go back to stock(meaning 180) that it would benefit me a lot. Something to do with geometry or something and maybe faster turn in or some poo poo. Oh and those chicken strips should disappear too!!!!!!!

Hi i think Krash, you are right. What size tyre on what type of bike does make a difference. Believe me i know cos i had the same problems, big chicken strips, changed to the correct tyre size and very small chicken strips. Funny aint it. haha

Lol Fuze my wife's V star has smaller strips than that. It's wierd i've never dragged knee and I don't have strips. I have scraped the outside of my boot several times though. Maybe I'm tucking my leg in a bit cuz i dont wear pucks on my knees.

I don't doubt that one bit. That's why all those old guys told me not to start on this huge bike, it makes sense now. haha.

This bike has so much more acceleration and tire then i can use at this point.
