it has a 6in rim, i just dont like the feel of it.

on a side not, i have got about 1000ks out of
this BT014 and its on the wear indicators on the left hand side...

Bloody eastern creek... 300ks of it were on the track.

it just didnt feel planted on its side like it used to. and slid the front a bit, which i dont like either.

mind you, this is riding a stock Z at 11/10ths and havent even got any suspension sorted...

Yeah mate, suspension may well be part of it! Mind games may be the other part! Let's see, you do 1'50" around the creek with the 014's yeah? and the lap record for a 600 around the creek is what? 1'36"?? Maybe less I can't member zachary, but it'll do here. That means you are running around 10% off the lap record.
I ran 64's let's say consistently at broadford the other weekend without a slide. The 600's buzz around in 59's there which is a 65 if you add 10%. SO I would guess at suspension more than blaming the tyres just yet. Plus your bike and you weigh a touch more than mine, and the steering geometry is a tad....err lazier on yours. Nothing we couldn't sort Wattie!

I forsee some Snowy Mountains Suspension Workshops in your future young Wattie
