Default Motorcycle question...WHY?


I have adjustable air shocks but they are both set to the same P.S.I. I did lay the bike down on the side of the wear, but my forks look straight. They may not be, but they look it. Do you guys think my forks are off? Are my shocks messed up? Any other suggestions? The tire was at proper air pressure.


Thanks

Is the wear on the right or left side of the tire? Many people turn more
aggressively to the right and may be the reason for the wear.

Right. And even so I;m not an agressive turner. Plus I lean almost equally to both sides.

Either way DAMN that's some seriously uneven wear. More than a little turning will do.



Come to think of it I do "dress" to the right. That may have something to do with it

Damn. That's not right. I'd take that bike to the shop and have it checked out. It looks like you've been riding around in a big circle making an aggressive right turn for a few thousand miles.

Yeah, just may have to get it looked at. I like to do my own work but i'm a little stumped.

I need to find out why it's doing this as I just put on a new tire and I want to get all the life out of it that I can.

Funny thing is it tracks straight down the road. Even with the jacked up tire I could ride straight with no hands.
