749s front tyre worn more on one side ?

  1. Evening all.

    Noticed that on my recently purchased 2005 749s the front tyre has worn unevenly ........ The right hand side (as your sat on the bike) is down to nearly the markers where as the left side has a good few millimeters more.......

    What would cause this ....? Alignment ... Incorrectly adjusted rear wheel on the swing arm ..... Leaning to the right to much :)

    Having said that the rear was squared off awful also.…...

    Thanks

  2. There's usually more right handers than left . On track anyway .
     
  3. Normal wear caused by the camber on the road and roundabouts. Google it, plenty of references. Motorcycle Tire Wear
