can I see the front tyre wear and rear tyre wear?
I'm looking for 'chicken strip' to see how much lean angle you're using

no, it's not for bragging rights

the GT2 I asked before is made in Europe
the older GT is made in China, same as many previous Rosso models

don't force it, but maybe can adjust some technique to adapt to the tyre

Check tyre pressure as well.

I know one rider never check tyre air pressure for 4 months until he sees the tyre on low pressure ( flatten), then only he will check.

I just try different tyres and pressure
some I follow manufacturer's brochure, some I follow feeling
but the bike's user manual says 40 on the rear, which is a bit toooo much for me, some friends follow it

That's very low pressure

After you mount on your bike, I'm sure it will not be round anymore

the Khan recommended 32/38 cold for both my v1k n my z900

dont quite like it as i feel i have to fight the handle bar at lean with 32 front... i quite like 36...

so i just compromise abit n go in the middle....34.

I check my tire pressure every 2 weeks along with other maintenance like chain lube, small cleanup.
Usually set 32 front and 36 rear pressure.

Got one of those portable tyre inflator from shopee, really convenient to have.

for all i know the petrol station pump reading just read low, my pens showed bout 15-18... but i know my tool isn't very accurate.

i think the factory recommendation for the front and back is like 36/42

Im running 250/290 on my bike.

As a touring bike, yes my tyres tend to square in the middle.
