Stock tires grip
Please describe your feelings about the BT014 tires in terms of grip.
Are they sticky enough when pushing hard?

Had mine break loose ar 45MPH weaving on an entrance ramp just 2 days (800 kms) after I got it. Touched down on the right side peg but pulled it up and out of trouble and rode on, -- went down on a Busa on BT056's in cold -- fully clutched too...hate Junkstone tires...total crap.

I have not had any problems with the stock tires yet. With that said, I'm not real confident with the BT014s. New tires will be purchased soon.

Have heard others warn about the stock Bridgestones, but have not experienced any grip issues yet. I've been pretty conservative in the cornering, generally going into corners a gear high so as not to load the tire as hard on the exit when getting on the gas. There is enough torque on tap to do this.
I have not felt even the slightest hint that they were going to let go.
