10 to 12k

that's the k for kilometres (about 7500miles)

thanks for clarifying. He did say mileage in his original post so I assumed miles. LeFox you are right about being careful. I think I always will be, just want to be able to ride at least like my mom would and not my grandma! when it is raining. :)

cornering in rain/wet weather is not that different that with dry weather.
just:
- don't go as fast as with dry weather
- make sure there are no slippery spots on the road (markings)
- be easier on the throttle when coming out of the corner. a nice steady, gentle roll on...

I've got Pirelli Scorpions and have been using all of 'em. No chicken lines left. Great tires.

I had the scorpion syncs and just recently switched to pirelli stradas to get more milage. they're a harder tyre then the scopions but just as sticky, highly recomended

I had the stock dunlop 208's for 5k miles, then the quailfiers for about 6k miles. I currently just put on a set of Metzler M1 in the front, M6 in the rear. The M1 is a sport tire, and the M6 is a sport-touring tire. After I had put these tires on I went on a ride with my uncle and was runnin about 130ish throught some turns with no problems. So far no problems out of them.

m3's are great tires at about 3000 miles on the back now think it's got a 1000 or so left maybe 2000 left but man the bike handle awsome.
