I have searched the forum for a concern such as this to no avail.
I have notice that I have a line just to the left of center on the rear tire. It is almost perfectly straight but has a slight movement to the right for about 2 inches before coming back to the left. Initially I thought that either I was spinning the tire during shifts or something was making contact with the tire other than the ground. I started off by raising the bike via bike stands to see if something was touching / dragging and there is nothing. I also looked at the swingarm, checking for signs of rubbing and there is nothing there either.
I would still think that I am spinning when I shift but honestly I have been taking it very easy and put almost 300 miles on the tire and the line is still there.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to check or is this something with the tire.
Yeah, I have just over 3500 miles on the tire.
