Maybe doing front brake wheelies?

I'm actually the most conservative rider I know of and I check my bikes frequently for fluids and tire pressures constantly.I don't do stunts and rarely go more than 5 mph over the speed limits so I'M at a loss to explain that at almost 2k I'm getting close to the wear indicators on the front tire.I will never use Bridgestone tires again if I can avoid it.

I've used BT45s and now run Michelin RP3s. I got about 14000kms out of the Bridgies and it sounds as though I push it harder than you. Mate, check front wheel runout. With that amount of wear in that mileage and your style of riding, somethings wrong. Maybe check front wheel runout. Although that should be, at least initially, be detectable through the bars. If there is a problem you don't want to stuff the new Michelins.
