Stolen off the interweb.

Always â€œbreak inâ€ new motorcycle tires. Every new tire could use a good break-in period. This will enhance your tiresâ€™ performance over their lifetime of service. After installing new tires on your motorcycle, take the bike out for a few easy and light rides just for the purpose of breaking in the new tires. After the first 100-200 miles, the new tires should be stable enough to accommodate fast accelerations, hard cornering and sharp breaking. Otherwise you could be faced with imbalance, low tire life and differing profiles on both the front and rear.

YMMV
