·The fine folks at BCM are shodding my 99 Supersport with new sport-touring Michelins.
We all know the deal with new tires. Slippery, first millimeter of tread has oil, etc, etc.
Here's my question: Has anyone taken sandpaper to their new tires before they ride off? Just a little scuffing up of the tread? Or is there another method? A rub down with some liquid that cuts the oil?
Should I even be worried, or is this urban myth?
Just wondering.
