    I just noticed on my front tire, the right side is wearing faster that the left side. Could this be from bearings or wheel spacer not correctly used ?

    strotdy don't take this wrong but the VTX honda's do it both the 1300 & 1800 , I notice you did'ne mention what kinda bike , I know a guy with a 1800 & he said he used the balence beads in his front & that did the trick with a new tire

    hey, if for whatever reason-leaky fork seals, etc- the front forks carry different amounts of fork oil on each side it makes a big difference on tire wear, cupping, and tread. If you have no leaks and it's ben a few miles maybe fresh fork oil will help.
