Tyre changing colour on edges

[Az]

My tyres started to go a blue colour around the edges. I've never seen this before and I'm just curious as to why it's changing colour and do I need to change my tyre or anything?

This is happening on both sides of the tyre on both wheels.

I think the cause of this issue is referred to as 'riding like a vagina'.

Trade your machine in for an sv650 immediately.

Nothing to worry about, just where the edge of the tyre has most load and got warm. Keep a check on your tyre pressures, too low causes overheating but that looks fine to me.

Its due to the oils coming through from heat cycles.

The down side to this is the more it happens the harder the tyre gets.

That's exactly it.

Its not an issue for road tyres tbh,I you think how often you go out and then go home etc it's going through a heat cycle.

They don't usually go blue like a track day tyre would for example but iirc this is normal over time on road tyres,it all depends on how hard you ride and how much heat you can get in to the tyre.

I wouldn't worry about it,and who cares about the chicken strips.....

Just you enjoy yourself mate and don't worry about the blue.

chicken strips are zero indication of a riders ability and having them doesn't make anyone a vag. chicken strips vary greatly from bike to bike and are affected by a number of things. are you saying the quickest way around every bend is fully cranked over with knee down?

Don't worry too much about that.

I'll photo the Daytona's rear tyre, its the opposite, so much blue, no black. It has become solid as you would expect after 5 years and was pretty sketchy on track.

Considering the massive chicken strips, the tyre may be under inflated causing excess heat and leaching of oils - worth checking.

Lean angles and corner speed all depends on one main thing and that's body position.

If you're lowering the centre of gravity by moving your weight to the inside of the corner then you'll be able to take corners at the same speeds as you did before whilst sitting bolt upright,except this time you'll have less lean angle.

I don't rate them 021's,I use to go through 1 front to 1 rear at a time and I felt that wasn't normal,the front would wear like a 50p

As said by evoboy, I also don't rate the 021, think I said that to you at BBQ.

Something remarkably weird about them;

Was gonna post that but you beat me to it paddy, they wear very strangely on certain bikes but apparently not all, my mates fazer always wears tyres funny but chucked a part worn 021 on it and its been spot on go figure!

[P.]

Definitely wear weirdly on a bandit.

Roads and 023s are definitely better, just whatsapp'd you the pics of my rear tyre on Daytona as my phone won't upload them
