Maybe you read it wrong? Or maybe I edited it

Your bike is fine. Not sure how I know it, it's almost as though I test rode it myself and noticed nothing out of the ordinary from any other bike I've ever been on...

Well today I put my wallet in my other pocket and now the bike leans to the left...No but in all seriousness, I did about 160 miles on the highway today and it's definitely the road. Left lane, bike tracks to the left. Center lane, bike is straight as an arrow. Right lane, bike leans to the right.
Sorry to make you guys nuts.

I respectfully, but strongly, disagree that left side tire wear is caused by the road crown. It is caused because we drive on the right side...which makes left turns longer...with a larger radius....which means we are harder on the throttle during a left turn which wears the tire faster. It also means that if we do as many lefts and rights..which I think is a reasonable assumption we put a lot more miles on the left side of the tire because it is further around the left turn.
Here is a guy that rides on both sides of the road, and he sees the wear move from side to side depending upon if he is on the left or the right. http://www.roadtrooper.com/michelin-...review-update/ So that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it. :) Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Check the alignment of the rear wheel
Mine was adjusted wrong from the factory and always pulled to the right It wore my tire out in 4000 miles,, it would only of lasted 5000 anyway. :-) Some people say I ride to hard :-)
