Motorcycle Tires Bridgestone Tires
How long does it take to break in new motorcycle tires ?
I just bought a brand new pair of Bridgestone BT-016’s for my R6. How many miles will it take for them to break-in ? I’ve put about 100 miles on them just commutting to/from work but I am trying to go riding on Sunday and hittin up them curves!
Distance really has nothing to do with it. Its how far you have leaned the bike.
What I do is go to a nice corner nearby ( fairly sharp so you don’t need much speed) . Go back and forth at a certain lean angle, then repeat it with increasing lean angles each time. My rule of thumb is to have the “virgin” rubber taking up no more than 1/4 of the contact patch. After about half an hour you will have a nicely scrubbed in set of tyres.
