is it me, or are your sidewalls chewed up?
If they are, thats NOT a good thing at all, and you may be on the edge of a nasty high side
or is something just rubbing on your tire.
whatever the fuk is going on with that tire it doesnt look safe.

Well......

I had the dunlop Q2's installed yesterday. The rear tire stock size was 170, the set I had ordered was a 180 rear. The 170 never rubbed the reservoir.

So after mounting the tires on the bike yesterday, took it for a test run. Went 10 miles and when I stopped, I smelled burning rubber. Pulled over and saw that the tire was basically fucked. Brand new tire with 20 miles on it, shot!

I ordered another 180. Just going to relocate the ohlins reservoir.

Any ideas on relocation endemic?

Is it VFR? I think so, it's hard to tell in the pics haha. If VFR, There's should have plenty room inside the tail fender. Leave that adjustable location and move that suspension around to inside the fender if it's possible to have room for that part. Good luck!
