Hi,
I am new to the site and new to BMW motorcycles.
I have owned bikes for a long time H.D. and Yamaha cruisers mostly.
I now have a 2013 R1200RT great bike. I have put 5k of the 26k miles that are on the bike.
The tires are Michelin radial pilot road GT on the front and Michelin radial Pilot Road 3 on the back.
The rear tire is cupping on both sides, but not the front tire. The man I bought it from said the tires had about 5k mile on them when I bought the bike.
I keep a eye on the air PSI. Run them a little lower when riding alone and pump it up when riding with my honey.
Is the rear tire cupping normal for a RT?
How many miles should I get out of a set of Michelin radials?
Thanks
Aride
