I've noticed a little more wheel spin on turns since the weather is warmer. Usually I don't throttle up considerably until the bike is upright. Yesterday I did, and felt just a hint (maybe 15-16 inches) of tire spin. It was then I realized just how much lean I had, on a 90 degree RH turn.

Did some E-stops on the way home from work today. I'm pretty happy with my weekly progress of control. Going to play in a parking lot again this afternoon after I do 3 oil changes (bike+car+car2) and see just how tiny circles can become.

Anyone else noticed the asphault finally getting warm ?
