I noticed this today that the junk patch on my tire favors the left side of the tire, and there's a smaller gap from junk to edge on the left then junk to edge on the right.

Did I put a spacer in the wrong spot or something? It's kinda hard to tell in the pic, but the chain is dead straight so it's not misaligned.

I'm not really worried about it, but I just started learning how to do rolling burnouts and just was curious.

 

yeah it looks like it wasnt balanced correctly... you should really not cheap out, and have your tires installed professionally...

 

i had them installed at a dealer

 

are you sure the axle or swingarm aren't bent? I don't see how tire balance would make it wear off center.

 

does it feel off when you ride????????

 

bring it back to that dealership and see what they say... if it is something they did they should probably give you a new tire depending on how much you wore it already

 

the bike feels ok when I ride it. I think it likes to go right if i let go of the bars just a little bit, but that might be the way this tire is wearing....

The axle slides right in and out when I take the wheel off so I don't think it's bent. The swingarm looks ok to me, the bike has never been down very hard.

 

you lean when you do burn outs its normal
