Unfortunately not, it was a bandit 12, which also had a small dent which did not help, just making a point out that badly out of balance can do unbelievable things. he had fitted the tyre himself about 3000 miles previously when he damaged both tyres after hitting a pothole. He had replaced the front wheel. We did check the balance on that wheel out of curiosity and it was out by 145gr. We thought first it was a cracked disk causing the rear to lock up at one point but disc was fine with pads worn down to 1mm. The rider brought it in to see what was causing all the vibration because he could not find anything wrong.
I have also seen a totally bald front tyre, only a faint outline of the tread, which the rider had brought it in for an oil and filter change only. when asked about tyres he said they were fine :eek
A fellow riding a bike with 5lbs pressure in the rear tyre and when it was pointed out he said he thought his swinging arm bearing were focced.
Shall I go on :rolleyes
