I think he means actually getting a different set of tires and replacing the stock ones. Not doing the actual work on the bike. Most stock rubbers on any bike or car are rarely the best. Some of them are really good but you can always replace them with better ones for the right price.
He's rite Dude....You'll never get that many miles out of a set of bike tires....at best... I have gotten 12,000 on a front and 6 to 8000 on a rear...and that's being gentle.
Now-a-days it's more like 3 to 5000 on a good tire...just went to an Avon Storm 2 Ultra Tri-Compound and I'm sold on them...Great tires!
Sorry guys. I was basing them on how often I had to change them for my cars. I only share my cousin's bike whenever hes not using it so I never had to change them myself. Still have to purchase my own once I'm done with my loan payment.
I was gonna say, those must be some hard a$$ tires, touring tires maybe. lol
The stock tires on the Z1000 I rode did well, but if I owned one, I'd put Metzeler M3s on it when the tires wore out, just because I love them and have been using them almost exclusively for the last 5 years.
