dude, I'd say with 6k on the clock, it's prolly defintaly your tires! I know I love the Michelin Pilot Powers, can't get much better than those IMO. Although, I'm think'n of changing when my set wears out, just to get more mileage. But I love the Pilot Powers, can't go wrong with 'em!
Slippy rear

Don't know about those, but have been hearing excellent things about the metzler Z6's - my room mate put a pair on his SV1000 this spring and can't stop singing their praises..... He's got about 3K on them and they look like new yet! I ended up with Pirelli Diablo Strada's this spring and expect close to 5k from the rear. The front is in excellent shape yet, so I spose I'll order just another rear...... I'm thinking I would have gotten more from the rear if I hadn't put so many road trip miles on - lots of straight raod time there

I would say with 6,000 miles the tire is shot. I hatted every minute with the Bridgestones that came on my 03 Triple and 04 Daytona.
I must say that I like the Pilot Powers, but am very disappointed with the mileage. The first rear that came on the bike I got 2004 miles and it HAD to be replaced. The second one I have on there now has 2400 miles and it will have to be replaced really soon The reason the first one got less milage is I went to the drag strip one weekend, but 2400 isn't impresssing me on mileage, BUT performance it would be hard to find a better street tire.

oh, alright, I was think'n you were talk'n about a set for that price! So you know the cheapster, he was all about that. $136 isn't the greatest, but it's not horrible either. I just purchased my rear Pilot Power a few weeks ago for $110 plus tax!!! Total was like $117. ;D The cheapster keeps his eyes opened for deals!
for deals!
How well we know : wouldn't want you to have to switch to Blatz
