The 12k service

Sat waiting for my bike and I get a video of the health check sent to me. Apart from the service the rear calliper has seized, it needs new pads and cleaning, I have a loose spoke in the rear wheel, uneven wear on the rear tyre and corrosion on the engine.

How do you get uneven wear on a rear tyre?

How do you get uneven wear on a rear tyre?

Do you ride one handed?
Sit on the bike more on one ass cheek than the other
The road isn’t flat so rhs of the tyre may wear more
Forks not true aligned
Bent frame

I’m interested as to why it’s uneven. Even on my Ducati Streetfighter that eats tyres the wear is across the tyre. It was across the tyre on the Anakees I replaced.

Apparently according to the good people of Vines it caused by uneven road surfaces and tyre pressure. But the front has worn evenly. The forks being unaligned could be as a result of the collars being fitted I guess...?

I had a seized rear brake on mine
Chewed the pads and turned the disc blue
All changed under warranty
I never noticed until the dealer brought it up
Not enough to slow the bike, it was just dragging

Pre ride checks..? I’m the guy in Effingham who just about knows how to fuel it. Indicators and lights are the most I’ve ever checked.

Interestingly the disc is fine and doesn’t need replaced.

ha,we wont talk about the fuel thing eh!,uneven rear tyre wear is not something very common on an lc so that is a bit odd.Hopefully you will get a new wheel out of it.

You ain't seen mine...

 

[beaver]

I had this on the TC.. turned out to be the swing arm bearings that had gone... worth a check...

 

[steadysteve]

Uneven wear is probably their way of describing it being squared off.

Not really a conclusion even the most inept of dealerships would draw, surely?

Possibly because the spoked wheel doesn't run true, i know mine doesn't, and neither does my mates, or the one i was following the other day
