Question:

Rear tire slick feels slick on my motorcycle?

Ok so i just bought a cb360 to learn on, but the rear tire doesn‘t give me a lot of confidence cuz it keeps feeling like their is no grip back there. I cleaned the tire n still it feels the same. Oh and it didn‘t feel like this before

Answer:

Did you do the obvious and check the tire pressure?A low tire can cause bad handling.Just looking at it is not a judge that the pressure is good.After that i would check the swingarm bushings and wheel bearings.
I had a CB360T from 1978 to 1980 and it felt the same way. You just have to get used to it. You might check the swingarm bearings, though. I did about 30,000 miles on my 360, but it took a long time to feel confident cornering hard on it.
Sounds like your tyre is worn out. I am curious to know how you cleaned your tyre
