    josh7owens What's an apex?

    I'm not experienced in the motorcycle world but coming from the car world that's alot of OPR (other peoples rubber) and wear for a Q3 with one track day. My last track weekend at NCM didn't result in my tires looking that bad. Maybe I suck and not working the tires

    If you are picking up that much rubber you are more than likely off the racing line.

    Im surprised theres no grass mixed in there :lmao:

    I am Assuming part of it is my suspension too? Its not sprung for me that much i do know. Any adjustments I can make would be worth while if anyone has ideas.

    Your tires are fine. Several of us have run Q2's now Q3's for years. Recommend 30/30 cold and let it go. If you check hot, you have a little bit of tearing because you are getting on the throttle just a little hard where there tear is as you tip the bike back up. Sometimes a little additional air will fix that - what you ran that rear at is a little low in my book, but most of that is just hot rubber you are picking up on the tire..

    NCM is notoriously GREAT on tires, but this looks like a regular barber day...

    Hot 33 front 31 rear...

    I will definitely try 30 30 Cold next time. Thank you!

    Any recommendations for suspension settings or anything else anyone can point out?

    The tires in that photo are not showing any suspension issues. Best bet for suspension help is talking to the trackside vendor (depending on location, in the south that's usually Heuy at Marietta Motorsports) who is a great resource and will work with you to make sure the suspension is set for YOU.
