I have BT-023's on our ST1300.
When I encounter a tar strip or pavement crack that's parallel to my direction, the tires 'grab' it and really throw the bike off course. Almost like the front goes down one side and the rear down the other.
The disruption is so dramatic that I actively avoid them when riding.
Pressure are according to tire spec and I believe suspension is setup correctly.
I've never ridden a bike that reacted so dramatically to a tar strip.
Has anyone else experienced this?
