Last year I had a similar problem with BT012SS's.

Pulled an instructor round for a few laps at the end of the next session and he told me I was getting on the gas before standing it up so the contact patch was the edge of the tyre which is not best to try and get the power on.

Made a concious effort to stand it up sooner coming out of corners in the next session and never had the problem again.

It was v warm and dry and the tyres were too hot to touch for more than a few seconds at the end of a session and was running 30psi.

Riding round the problem or good advice?
Worked for me
