Not sure if it's folklore or not, but my understanding is you are supposed to take it easy on tires for the first 100 miles or so, especially around tight corners, untile the tires are sufficiently "scuffed." Not sure if this was your problem, but tires are a little slippery when they are brand new. |
Folklore and fact actually. Also a couple heat cycles made a difference to the tires on the VStrom near the end of last riding season.
