F34 &R36 . the last tyre's wore in a vee shape and they were pirelli corsa dragons. i was running F33& R35, The tyre's I'm running now are BT016's & the front trye has also worn to a vee. any idea's ?

Both of those tyres you mention are multi compound so will be fairly soft on the sidewalls.

I don't know the nature of your riding but extended periods on twisty tracks/roads might have some bearing on it as might your suspension setup.

Does the bike actually feel sorted suspension wise generally or does it have handling traits which might highlight a problem ?

spoonz, the bike handles great,I do ride twisty roads and I try to hit the ton daily. I do corner hard as I'm slowly regressing back to the maniac I was when young. I have to be careful as i've had a hip replacement and the Roo's keep jumping out in front of me, good for the reflexes. spose i just need new tyres. thanks mate.

It's just what's called tyre wear mate, the result of giving it some in the twisties, i reckon all you need is a new tyre:thumbup

I have the same problem with bloomin Roo's in Scotland as well mate, you gotta keep yer wit's about you at milking time
