Hi, i bought this http://www.walgreens.com/store/prod...=frgl_644678&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=sku303828 and used it on my tires, if the link doesn't work it is the "Armor All Extreme Tire Shine".
It is said to protect the tires, so i thought yeah I'll try it!
Then after it dries in 15min I go "WTF!" my tire are so oily and slick, i am pretty scared taking my bike to work tomorrow and it is said to be raining too. Omg this stuff isn't for bikes huh?

I thought you were joking. It's common knowledge that you never put chemicals on motorcycle tires, especially something slick like Armor All. You will lose traction and probably your limbs.

A quick search of your previous posts about stripped oil pan threads, riding a bike back from Oakland, smoking cbr, is it legal ro ride without a gauge, radiator problems, and....perhaps you aren't joking.
 
I know a guy selling 07 CBR600RR fairings, when you need a new set, let me know!
