[QUOTE="torch, post: 1460932, member: 1295"] Interesting. I happened to hit a stretch of grooved [I]pavement[/I] on the highway this morning, but this was the deep wide grooves left as they tear off the old prior to repaving. There's a reason why the warning sign for grooved pavement features a motorcycle! But I can't say it was any better or worse than other times with other tires. Overall, I find the FJR handles grooved pavement better than my older bikes with skinny bias-ply tires. I deal with grooved pavement with positive steering input, weaving left and right in my lane constantly until it ends. Interestingly, the complainant apparently found similar relief: "As soon as you put lean angle on it, it all but disappears." I don't think I've had the Mutant's out on grooved [I]concrete [/I]yet however. The only stretch of that I can think of is the 407 and I think I still had the R5s on the last time I rode that. I won't be down that way for at least a week but I'll make a point of trying it out when I'm next in that area. [ATTACH type="full"]5631[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
