Default D407 wear bars

What do the wear bars on the D407 rear tires look like? Do they run around the tire or from side to side? The manual shows them running from side to side but my tires have a yellow and red bar showing inside the tread, near or at the center. The center of the tire is a bit flatter but it still appears to have plenty of tread left. The bike only has about 8000 miles on it. I think I will need a new tire by the end of the year but I do want to get the most out of the one that is on there, but be safe at the same time.

sounds like you have a good amount of tread left. ask someone at the dealer to show you, (in the service department)
