Front tire issue?


and what about in other seasons ?
 
Just out of curiosity, everyone check wheel weight amounts for comparison, I think mine has quite a bit more than normal, not sure how much but has same on both sides.
Probably in KG.

To much weight needed means the tire is not a good one. When my shop was doing a rear for me the said to much weight was needed and they sent that one back. The next one needed a normal amount of weights added.

I developed the same problem. The tire was found to be out of round. We put a new one on and all is well.

Did they find the problem without removing the wheel ?
I'm thinking of asking my dealer to check it before my R3 is ready (it is but due to the confinement, I can pick it up only in the coming days)

I wonder whether these wheel weight amounts are the same for all R3 sold or if it varies for each unit ?
 
Mully you should have kept the Avon on your bike as it helps keep your speed down and will stop the rozzers from writing you any new speeding tickets.

I don't think i have ever had the same amounts of weight/s or in the same exact place ever. So seriously doubt all R3's have the same weights at the same spot on the rim/s.
Every time i have had a tyre replaced the mech removed all old weights prior to balancing the wheel with the new tyre fitted.

You sir are correct. The Roadster has been sitting a lot here lately just for that very reason...lol State has already sent me a letter.

Yes they had it up on the jack spinning the front wheel. It was evident that it had a wobble to the tire.
