Yeah, tires are brand new Michelin Scorchers 100/90 19 and 160/70 17. 2 months old with just 2700 miles on them so I wouldn't think they'd be the problem. At least I hope not, cause I love the way they feel at all other times. Front end seems the most un-nerving, Even at slow speeds it feels like the forks are trying to go in different directions when they hit.

To get to one of my favorite roads I have to travel 7 miles of tar snakes. There is so many that the road is way to sketchy to travel if the temp is above 80. Since I got Metzeler ME880 put on the bike I don't even notice the tar snakes. I went down that road on sun. the temp was 95, I never once felt loss of control.
