A brief ride on my 2015 Zero S through Ashland Park in Lexington KY, in order to try out a helmet-mounted Polaroid Cube.

Tech Help / Re: Damage to new tire: Cracked or slashed?
« on: April 01, 2015, 10:19:03 AM »
I parked today in the same parallel spot where I thought it might've happened, got a sidewalk table down the street and watched while I ate lunch, just in case it would be tried again. It was a long shot, but if it turned out to be a shopkeeper who wanted to encourage motorcyclists to park elsewhere, I thought it might be interesting to see how my armored gloves would perform when fist connected with jaw.

That's encouraging, Richard. Maybe it'll never happen to me again!

Thanks for all your responses.
Wow! That's kinda freaky. I've had the bike a week, park it inside at night, and the only time I've parked it anywhere in public for more than ten minutes was on a busy public street in the day time.
How common is this? (It's my first bike in nearly 40 years.) I'd think it would be faster to simply knock the bike over, or more cruel to key the plastic 'tank.'
The only reason I can think of to choose slashing the tire instead is to a) make it harder to spot the damage and therefore obscure where it happened or b) perhaps cause me to wreck the bike when the tire blew.

Tech Help / Damage to new tire: Cracked or slashed?

I have just 40 miles on my 2015 Zero S. Looked closely at the right side of the front tire (Pirelli Sport Demon) and found what I took to be cracks in the sidewall. Now I'm wondering if they're possibly slashes instead.
Right side of front tire only. Several together about 3.5" long, 3 longer single cracks, cuts, or slashes about 8" long.
(Of course I'm having the tire replaced tomorrow, but my Zero dealer is ~170 miles away, so I'm having it done locally.)
Any thoughts on what might've caused this damage?
