What ptown said.
But seriously dude, how square is your tyre? I'm sure it's the photo, but it looks like it's been lifted off a 1.1l hatchback from the '80.
On the general subject, watching Del Boy's garage the other day and he recommended scrubbing your chicken strips with a Scotch pad and hot soapy water every so often. Logic being to remove the hard shiny surface that builds up over time in case you have to use that section of the tyre in an emergency only to find out its got no traction.
@Soul - so envious. Absolutely stunning scenery.

Could it be the profile of the tyre, Bridgestone Bt45? They've been on the bike since I've had it. I've scraped foot pegs but the bit at the edge remains untouched, that's why I was asking. (I'm not trying to scrape knees btw just ride in jeans and boots) but I think I counter steer quite a bit not sure how that affects it.
until reading a terrible thread on a motorbike forum today I didn't really understand the topic and the different variables.

That hard shiny coating is from the mould and modern tyres are getting better at being ready to go once fitted.
Also use car wash stuff not washing up liquid.

I saw some social media post about chicken strips, not really sure how I'm doing?
