    Hi everyone,
    I've been looking on forum for a little while and have gleened lots of useful info with many thanks. This is my first time posting with a question for you all, my friend and I both have vfr's 98 and 99 and for some reason the 98 is wearing the front tyre squareish?? on the right hand side. We have spent months trying to sort it, replacing headbearings adjusting them to the nth degree, new wheel bearings, making sure forks are true, and finally making sure discs are free. We're running out of hair trying to figure it out. The 99 doesn't have this issue and just wondering if anyone has seen this problem before. The new headbearings are roller, please help.

    Would you happen to have a photo of this tire wear? I'd talk to the tire manufacture, they're actually pretty good at letting you know whats causes the wear.
