Hey all , I have a 2009 GS SE5 with 15000 klm's on it . The front tires are wearing on the insides . Right side more than the left side ( by quite a bit ) . Can someone tell me if a Laser Alignment will correct this . Thank you .... Gilly

A laser alignment will keep it from happening to your next set of tires but those are done.
Ok ... Thanks jcthorne , bike steers and tracks fine . Just wanted to know if the alignment would stop this for sure .
Agreed. By the time you notice a problem, it is usually too late for the tires already installed. Get new tires and a Laser Alignment at the same time and you will probably be quite impressed with how bad it was before.Quote:

Thanks for confirming that guys. And tire pressure is something I watch very close . And you right Ron , this is my second season on my Spyder and probably will see a big difference .
Your right guys... three new tires and an alignment ... WOW ... what a difference . After an hours drive home , i looked at the front tires on the highway and they were even across the tread pattern . A good dark strip in the center of the tire . Just had to make a small adjustment on the belt and is good to go . Thanks guys
Hello Gilly!! I just bought a 2008 SM5 with 26,000 kms on it. Never owned or drove a Spyder before but have been riding for 40 years. It passed the safety no troubles. I took my first longer ride the other day and I'm hearing a droning type noise from the front end. If it was a car I'd think wheel bearings but it might be tires/alignment. Don't think mechanics check alignment on a safety. Did you hear that type of noise on yours before tires/alignment? Or is it just normal noise for a Spyder? Nature of the beast type noise. Steers and tracks fine.
what is typical cost for a user alignment?
Thx
Rick
