Front tire wear

I think i over exagerated shake mate, more highspeed vib through the bars , has gotten worse over time , there is also a good amount of vibe through the bike when reving the engine stationary , my guess is that throttle bodies are way out of sync , causing vibration , is that feasable ?

My bike does similar. Whenever I put it in Neutral and let off the clutch the bike shakes a lot more. I also get a great deal of vibration in the 2000-2300 rpm range while in 3rd-4th. Lemme know what you find out.

It doesnt take long for a Metz to cup. Everyone that I've had cupped and always check my air pressure. When I started hanging around other fellows with Triumphs the first thing I noticed was the majority of the tires on their bikes was cupped. All was Metz tires.

I think it's just a combination of factors, the mains one being; under inflation, aggressive cornering, aggressive braking, and very soft compounds on most front tires.
