Looks to me like they did their job.

How did you like the handling?

Dang Fin, you're just ah hot dog.
Hard to believe you were able to get serious lean angles with the motoplan rearsets. My bike may be lower than yours but I scape well before my personal capabilities.
Go get some new tires.

I run like mad man, all other drivers say that i am crasy. But it is totally inbossible to get those motoplan rearset hit the trac.. Thank god. Because there is not spring joint.

If you hit that motoplan inthe trac. it lift rear wheel and you fall ....

That rear tire is used in every part in rear I cant lean more. and fron there is only 2 mm chiken stripe.. But rear nothing.

Fin,
Did you check your tire temps after track use? How did the tire feel once hot? Did it start to feel "greasy" at any point?

Have you ever seen a tire after track use with a pile-on on board?

Unfortunately, we R3 riders are at the higher end (and possibly exceeding it) of the range for the compounds used. I believe the weight and torque of the R3 is pushing the compound past its limits when riden agressively.

The same issue occurs in many tires used for track days on sedan cages, while lighter cars and bikes have the opposite problem - not enough heat when using the same compounds.

Based on what is available, I am not sure there is much you can do other than start a weight loss project on the R3 if you are going to keep using it on track.

No I havent take tire temp, and yes it start to feel greasy after 3 set

I just compare Pirelli and Original Mez, And Mezeler works better in high temperature and it last 2 trac days...

But in street driving . Pirelli gives more gripp

And yes Rocket is not Trac bike, so I think that all compounds melt under that bike

But still I put new Pirelli,

and Totally shit is Rocket Brakes ... it boil the break fluid and it lose brakes
( only in trac )

But like I say Rocket is cruiser not Trac bike... but I dont know that
