twigg Posted October 2, 2012 Share #2 Posted October 2, 2012 im starting to get cupping on the rear tire any ideas of what to look for to fix :confused24: Wrong tire pressure, poor tire construction or type, knackered rear suspension, swing-arm pivots with too much play. Probably a bunch more. Rule out the obvious and whatever is left is the cause. Not all apparently suitable tires wear the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted October 3, 2012 Share #7 Posted October 3, 2012 Kind of what I was getting at. As the tire wears and get "thinner" in spots it is more able to move and conform so it wears differently. Thanks for the link, I had read that a couple times before but its nice to review ocasionaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
