Thanks! Can you share a link to the product you use? Much appreciated!I use a tyre mounting paste when putting on new tyres , it works as a lube when mounting them , and a bit like a glue once dried.
breaking the bead is a bit tougher when you use the stuff ... so it definatly gets sticky
I think one thing to consider is that on the track there isn't time between mounting and riding. So, whatever lube will slip until it dries. In that situation anti slip is a better solution.
Not as much an issue for street but even then ive had my rear slip on moderate acceleration when i rode immediately after installation. Once dried the next day there was no slip even when using prolonged aggressive throttle.

I just wanted to follow-up after watching my tires for a while. Upon first symptoms, I pulled my wheels and had them re-balanced. Both were out of balance.
It looks like the front wheel was the culprit.
To rebalance it, the same weights were moved 180 degrees from next to the valve stem to opposite the valve stem.
After this, and taking a second look at my fork damping settings, the bike feels perfect with no vibrations through the handlebars. Meanwhile, the rear does in fact slip like crazy throughout a track day, but seems to produce no noticeable feel symptoms for me. I mark the front too, and it hasn't slipped but a hair.
So, my best guess is that the tech had a brain fart and grossly misbalanced the front wheel and that cause my vibrations issues over 130 mph. And rear balancing seems unimportant.
