Tire recall and general ramblings and questions

I heard that Michelin just recalled the Pilot Power 120/70/ZR17 front tires. I also wonder about the rears as I have both Pilot Power's front and rear.
Yikes, and to think I let it go to 140+ yesterday after a cell phone soccer mom gave me the squeze play at 80.
As I own a 92 VFR-750 with the wider rear rim, has anyone run a 180 on the rear like the newer 600s run and I wonder how the handeling would be affected with a wider profile.

Can't wait for my Corbin seat and Heli bars to arrive.

Also I just dialed in the carbs in after 6 attempts at "the perfect setting" using the dyno jet kit. "I'm getting good at this carb removal thing after 6 times"
Anyone with a 92 VFR-750, a high flow filter (BMC) and stock air box, a left sided Two Brothes full exhaust system (mine with carbon can) the following is a very good base line carb settings using the Dyno Jet carb kit:

The Dyno Jet kit supplies new "needles", "main jets" (#124s) (throw away, hair bit too lean with full headers), "plastic hoods" (throw these away), and a drill bit to enlarge the existing holes in the slides (do this)
Order up some #126-128 main jets (I ran #126s) and #45 slow jets (stock is #40)
Raise the needle to within 2 slots of the bottom slot. Note: this is wopping 2 slots down from the center slot. Replace the forementioned main jets and slow jets.
Turn the idle mixture screw out to approximatly 2 1/4 turns (from seated) for a baseline. With the new slow jets (#145s) you might have to screw out the idle mixture screws even more to like 1 7/8 (from seated) (I settled on 2 turns out)
This a good base line only if you are running a full header system like my Two Brothers and BMC high flow stock style filter. Maybe you guys can save a lot of time in the process of dialing in the carbs.
My bike wheelies right through 1st gear (no bouncing on the bars) and power wheelies 2nd gear shifts. Of course, I have a new full system Barnett clutch!!
Have a great ride!
