Tire Ware

[Uncle Bean]

I have a 07 k9 . Looks like the back tire has a 2and a half inch wide ware mark on the left side of the tire about 2 plus inches off center. What the hell would cause that to happen? never seen that before! any ideas?

many threads on that... if your tire is tracking true,, some have said its the crown in the road ,, you lean to correct the angle.. do a search how many miles on your tire?

 

[Uncle Bean]

only 3000 miles

I bet that bike pulls hard if you let your hands off the bars
If you are a hands on guy go to "How to Replace your Rear tire" and do the steps without replacing. If not your HD or Big Dog Mechanic will measure and make it True

Mine did the same thing .... i checked my pressure and only had 10lbs of air in the tire. I run about 22lbs now. I put 32lbs in and tried that and it felt like i was sitting an the concrete. my bike didn't pull when i let off the bars either
