Im sure most of you have seen this video. quick question... at the beginning of video :20-:45 sec if you see his lean angle.... is that enough lean to get rid of the chicken strip on street tires?
Dude, forget about "chicken strips" and learn to ride the bike fast. Take a school, hit up a track day, talk to people that know more about the sport than you could ever dream and with the quickness you'll find you have no strips and even quicker you'll find you just don't care anymore if they are there or not. The measure of a riders skill has absolutely nothing to do with the size of their chicken strips.

:lol I didn't even watch the video...but, I assure you that the first day you go to the track, by the end of it, you'll have eliminated all the chicken strip on your tires :fact
On a 190 rear, you'll have SOME "chicken strips" until you're pretty much all the way over. Also, if you're getting off the bike, you can move at a pretty fast clip and still not scrub 'em all the way off.
To really take them off, you have to be pushing at a pace that's probably too fast for the street. Especially the fronts...you're not gonna get them without taking corners pretty aggressively (braking in and gassing out).
"Chicken strips" can tell you if someone doesn't corner well, but don't always necessarily indicate HOW well they CAN corner.

Yup that should get rid of the rear chicken strips, the ones on the front tire will need a little more.
