Turbo cruise map -n- mileage -n- old tires
I mod'ed my turbo map (Bazzaz gadget) for RPM 3-4.5K and TP 0-20 percent from AFR 12.5 to 14.2. Mileage on highway, with avg speed of 75 went from 26-27 MPG to 40 MPG.
I just replaced my Pirelli Rosso's to P Angels today and notice that the bike now corners all by itself!
It will be interesting to see if the MPG makes any reasonable (upward) change.
The tires had about 5K on them and patches just showing up where the steel threads were spotting through. The old Rosso's required a fair amount of counter for the curves. These new tires counter by themself.

As long as I'm in the 5-6K and above RPM zone ---> WOT no pause (stumble..no not stumble).
If I'm at 3-4.5 K I will have a pause until the RMP builds to about 5-6K.
I am thinking about testing out 14.7 AFR. but feel a little chicken flu coming on

Yes. Both sides at clear angle to center ridge. I wonder if the 3 compound -center patch being more firm?
Previous tires wore pretty even across (OEM). Rear on this set wore evenly, as well.
