brand new bikes have a coating on the rubber from the factory that keeps the rubber from cracking and dry rotting in the bike sits for a while. my dealer did a burnout in the back to get that crap off of the center of the tire. sucks for this guy.

first gear on that gsxr goes to somewhere around 90 mph....He gave a little gas and let the clutch out!!!!Slip and Fall!!!But I Know that tire was covered w/that tire shine stuff(most oil base!!!)...Plus they say fresh tires need a 100mi. break in because they have a protective coat on the tires(More Slick S**t!!).
