Tire design is an extremely complicated issue involving the design of composite materials. Composites are structural systems comprised of two or more different materials, rubber and belting in tires for example, concrete and steel, different metals, and so on. Some relevant design factors for tires are load, pressure and heat. When done right structural systems like tires can be overloaded without incident even though as a structural engineer I don't like to see it. But when done wrong as could have been the case with the Explorer/Firestone situation, you have consequences.
That said I'm sorry to say I don't have specific advice for motorcycles. In general I would say to watch tire pressure, not too much and not to little. And maybe take it slow or keep loads down on days of very extreme heat.
