^ thats the problem. when tires are brand new they have a film on them from the mold at the factory. that needs to be worn off i usually do about 70 miles before i start ripping into mine.......or at least i used to

oh.....then i would lean towards dirt on the road. the one time (so far) i low sided it was due to a thin patch of dirt less than two square feet. i went back and was like WTF and i had to look real hard before i figured out what the hell happened.

Trust the bike.
Call me a bike noob, but just out of curiosity. Why would it be harder to low/high side a 600 bike? Not alot of power?
