    Question Tire wear - SV650

    I was looking over my tires after riding yesterday and noticed that I have completely scrubbed off the chicken strips on the front tire, yet still have roughly 1/4" of strips remaining on the rear tire.

    2006 SV650S
    RaceTech Gold Emulators w/ .85kg springs on the front and 10w oil
    *2004+ GSXR1000 Rear Shock

    The tires are Dunlop Q2s
    Front: 120/60-ZR17
    Rear: 160/60-ZR17

    I have concerns that I'm coming dangerously close to washing out the front, and that I may be doing something wrong in the corner. I've read a few things that might indicate the need to have the suspension adjusted again, but since this is still my first year riding I would appreciate any helpful information you guys can provide. Thanks in advance.
