Default Tar Strips

&nbsp\\;When I go thru a curve that the cracks have been filled with tar the front end try’s to wash out. I changed the tire’s to Avon’s but no help.

JUGG some of that&nbsp\\; tar is slippery, TIRE change isn't going to help, JUST BE AWARE&lt\\; IN curves try to avoid the SNAKE STRIPS&nbsp\\; that don't flow side to side. AINTnuttin else ya can DO. IF your a new rider&nbsp\\; it does feel as if your sliding&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; abit but , you'll be fine.
