Dose anybody else have problems with front tire cupping? And what causes it? Air pressure is @ 42 psi., Bike lowered 1 inch. Any suggestions?
I'd take ten pounds out of that front tire ........ at least five. That tire is ruined. Replace it.Dose anybody else have problems with front tire cupping? And what causes it? Air pressure is @ 42 psi., Bike lowered 1 inch. Any suggestions?
Would you believe the manual actually calls for 42 PSI cold, solo and two up riding.Number of reasons. Your psi is to high to start most over look the fact it says MAX PSI @ XXXXLBS. Also another possibility is your suspension settings. Check the dampings and properly adjust it.
If lower pressure doesn't fix the problem, I would suggest getting the suspension set up for you.Battlax 16, next was Q2, now is Michelin Pilot Power 2Ct. All doing it. I'll try lower pressure.
what tires? Battlax's are known for cupping. Switch brands.
Yep some bridgestones cup like mofo's from my experience....don't run them anymore, and cupping problem disappeared.What tires? Battlax's are known for cupping. Switch brands.
