Looking at the unorthodox chicken strips of this bike what's your conclusion?
What is this rider doing to achieve nearly no chicken strips on the rear tire, yet massive chicken strips on the front tire?
Is it his riding position? Or is this normal on certain tires? (He also mentioned they were the same way on the stock IRC). If it's his riding position, how is he leaning the bike over to have a huge disparity between front and rear?

I have the same exact problem, except opposite, with ranch dressing

The front is more a gauge of how much braking you're doing leaned over. Most people have large amounts of unused tire on the front when street riding.

Clearly he is doing wheelies through the corners.

It looks like the front plastic is supporting most of the front tire. But on the back he only has the pipe.

Possibly non standard tire sizes as well. If that is a 120/70 in the front, it pinches it so the sides go almost vertical, and will never touch the ground even with the bike laying on its side.

^^^ Yep yep
Those tires look normal to me cadd for riding on the street. Is that your bike? Sometimes... tire size/profile + riding style + brake/throttle control can equal some odd tire stuff sometimes. For example; My track r6 has no strips on the front but has a little bit on the rear after 3 days at the track. The main reason for the strips on the rear is, I was running a 190 rear vs my preferred size of a 180. It takes some serious lean to knock the strips off a 190. Exhibit A: Exhibit B: (tearing due to over inflation )

perhaps tire pressure could be involved? If he has his pressures set far apart I would think it could have an effect.

I don't think tire pressure makes much of a difference for things like this, unless they are wildly underinflated to the point of collapsing.

Not my bike. Just saw it on another forum and thought it was weird. But it appears it's not as weird as I thought =)
