    Hi guys,

    I bought my FZR not too long ago, and when I got it the front tyre was worn on the RHS a noticable amount more than the left, just curious what would cause this, and if I may have a problem that needs fixing?
    The rear tyre is pretty badly worn, but isn't uneven.

    any help would be great,
    Thanks!

    Tyres seem to wear on the right just off centre because of the camber on the roads. The bike is upright when travelling in a straight line but the road slopes slightly to make water run off from the centre.

    If the wear is across a fair percentage of one side of the tyre, in addidtion to what FZR DUDE says about the forks being twisted in the triple clamps, then I would also check the alignment of the back wheel, or worse still the frame may be twisted.

    Perhaps the previous owner liked right hand corners?
    The other thought was track day, but i'm not sure which tracks in Australia use more rights than lefts.
