[elliotmotocross]

Sorry clearly a noob question.. but what are chicken strips??

[Trick2Stroke]

I think if you read the thread it's pretty self explanatory.

I have, I still don't know what it is exactly. Is it where the side of the tyre has developed a corner? Or when the rubber is all bumpy from little bits of ripped up rubber? Is it a really worn down tyre?

None of the above. It's where you can still see unused rubber on the edge of the tire.
It implies you've not leaned the bike over as far as the tires edge will allow,
thus being a "chicken". The wider the strip, the more of a chicken you are.

Ohhhh I got the impression the tyre gets so chopped up it has the texture of a piece of fried chicken hahah

[MXCat]

I would post a picture, but I've got no more chicken strips on my tires!

[DRZ-400-SM]

I am watching you Sumotard.

Ain't no strips on mine by the way.




Didn't have them on the Busa either.



Ain't gonna have them on the ...

[SUMORYDR]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.............

Maybe I should try to dig up some of mine too.

[SUMORYDR]

On the old XR650R

[SUMORYDR]

And here's one from before I actually started riding the BERG......then I took it to the track ( see avatar picture ) I don't even think I need to post an "after" picture.

From the 2010 SMJ Gap rally.

[smrookie]

This is from riding in the dirt.

[Jer]

Let's see some front tires!

[smrookie]

I think this is the best I can do.

[Jer]

I like the scooter sticker!

[Normel]

These are all street use. From last summer to this summer.
First is the front, then the rear.

[J Banning]

Riding all the nice roads in North Carolina and Virginia get rid of chicken strips right quick...

Bikes / Tires:
- KTM 625 SMC / Avon Distanzia
- Husky SM610 / Continental Contiforce SM

[exit90a]

Let's see some front tires!

No doubt. Zero chicken strips on the rear = quick rider, zero on the front = a whole other level of skill. I'll go first, only pic I could find of the front from a gnarly off road day.

[J Banning]

Sweet stair steps!

[123nathan0g]

not bad for the first time supermoto,
some worn rubber but still some stripes

I can't lose the front strips on the street yet. Just on track. I can't imaging how fast I would have to go on the street to lose the fronts

agreed.. just lost the fronts this weekend at the track.. i've never had rears on any of my bikes from the street, but some of you guys that have balled up rubber from the street are just plain nuts.... or maybe it's just the self preservationist in me as i get older talking.


rear... (maybe i need to drop my tire pressure some more )






front... kinda hard to see, but they're all the way down.

[Jer]

Nice one!

That's why I had NO idea why someone would show a pic of how much of a pu**y they are. I clicked thru to find "the misnomer" shots.

[dan cor]

riding up the santa fe ski area. back end got a little too slippery and a little too fun. good times.

[yzedf]

My Distanzias got beat on hard at Loudon on Monday and Tuesday. Pics still on my phone.... no strips there front or rear.

[Brakelate]

I will check my tires tonight, but I am pretty sure I don't have any track berry on them: soft slicks with 25hp = no wear
(it's a YZ85).

[hey Johnny Park]

What tire pressures are you guys running? And for what tires.

[Judaslefourbe]

So I checked my tires, and while there is no chicken strip, there is no berry either.
As far as pressure goes, I run 20 psi for now: got to get those soft tire up in temperature somehow...

PS: got a YZ85, with 17" Dunlop slicks.

[scottiedawg66]

u aint got any chicken strips because u got take offs from me! and I run ~ 20 psi in those dunlops on the mini! and 23F, 22R for KR 108s on the big bike

[Snarf]

Here's my front.... I wont bother posting the rear. All street miles, no trackdays...

[f3joel]

Show your fronts boys! Anyone can get on the gas...

My front

[Judaslefourbe]
