Thanks to the forum for recommending Michelin PR 2 tires. I found a great shop in Redwood City, Ca. called "Peninsula Motorsports", and they sold me a PR 2 and mounted it for $180. (Big difference from my local Kawasaki dealer of $255). This saved me from selling the bike because it was so spooky and twitchy in the slow corners that it was dangerous. Someone should sue Bridgestone for the 021's. I am sure this tire is to blame for the less than stellar reviews the bike was getting compared to the BMW and FJR. Now I'm even ready for the twisties, something I never would have attempted before. These PR 2's give the bike "wiings".
