Can I suggest it's probably the tyre profile - the PR4's probably different from whatever you've had before.
The 50 or 55 number just says it's the same height - but the shape of the profile is probably different. I'd been using BT20's on my GSXR6 - putting it on Michelin Pilots transformed the handling - it dropped soooooo much more easily into bends. Highly recommended for SRADs.
My Z1000SX was great on PR4's, rock solid stable but the T30's seem to make it skittish and less stable (I have tried both in a 55 profile - up from the standard 50) whereas the T30's were awesome on my Fazer Thou - again, rock solid grip, until they got down to a couple of mm - (hen whitelined badly. That said, I've dropped the Fazer's yokes 10mm so it actually steers now, and have an R6 shock and Maxton forks.
