FYI, gentlemen... I spoke with my local shop, they have spoken with Parts Unlimited.. and this is for real. I wanted to check it out before I called it credible, as there is alot of disinformation on the WWW...

Where did you get this information. KC? Local shop told me they would have to get back to me on wht has to be done... Local shop was the first to call Parts Unlimited with this issue, so they didnt even know what to do...

Yeah, it's for real. Killer posted this up the other night - first I heard of it. I have my new PP front mounted but the rear is still at the shop. I haven't looked at the location yet. I'm beginning to think this motorcycle feels neglected if it's not tore apart somehow! 
That's ok it's not like I broke the story or something.

You're right but I thought it was very heads up and considerate to bring it. This could be a serious issue. 
As soon as you hear **** like this about critical components - one would do otherwise?
Bravo on ya, brother!

it should be taken into consideration that the 2 reported cases invovled stunt riders who were running their front tires at very low inflation levels. and these 2 cases are all that michelin was responding to. we may not really have a problem after all. anyway, I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. I'll take care of it in a couple months when the michelin guys actually have the supply of replacement tires in stock.
