I hope somebody can help me out with this, I have a 09 ultra classic. I have had issues with tire cupping since I bought the bike with 13k on the clock. I am **** about tire pressure. Always check before I ride. I only have about 6K on the tire in the pic. the left side of the tire is wearing way faster than the right. Almost no tread left on the left side of tire. Right side is cupped and the front tire is cupping as well. Any ideas on what might be causing all the excessive wear and cupping and why it seems to be concentrated on the left side of the rear tire?
Maybe it's the angle from which you took the photo, but it doesn't look like the center of the tire is centered on that fender bracket.
Try a different brand of tire..
I just had a front tire do this and HD ESP replaced it under warranty, it had 17K miles on it. They gave me another Dunlap so I'll keep a close watch on this one.
tire is not centered under fender. This is my first bagger and I thought it was normal. I have had this bike for 7 years and put over 30k on the clock. Could not ride much for three of those years due to elbow injury. Kind of just getting back into longer riding again. I hope its not the swingarm but will have it checked. Thanks for all the input.
