Front tires

[yankeeDoolte]

My 2011 rts front right tire tore badly on the inside and the balance tread is in good shape, also the left tire tread is in great shape. Bike as only 4000 miles. Dealer said there is no adjustment for toe in or out on this model. He said rotate the tires and replace when both are worn.
makes no sense there the front end there's are wearing just the right inside and can not be adjusted.

I would find a new dealer. Your Spyder needs a laser alignment. You should be able to find someone in your area that does the laser alignment. Do not waste money on rotating tires that are already worn. You will move a problem from one side of the Spyder to the other.

It looks like you are less than 100 miles to Springfield, MO. Give Pitbull a call or Lamonster's Garage and have your Spyder laser aligned.

I agree with Ann, do not rotate tires, if your tires are bad get new ones and get a Laser Alignment as soon as possible, seen as you are close to Pitbull Powersports in Springfield i also recommend that you contact Len or Lamont for a laser alignment.

Thanks, thought there had to be way to align the front end. Is there a contact number for Lamonstar's Garage?

There you go...!!

depends on who you talked with at the dealer but that person is not the one you should be talking to. As stated, not worth rotating the tires but get the alignment done...:thumbup:

My '09 GS had the same problem. I happened to be in Tennesee at the time and didn't want to take the time to have it replaced. I just added 2 or 3 pounds to the right front tire which moved the road contact with the tire toward the center of the tread.

Methinks I'd be findin' a different dealer!

Agreed. I'd have Lamont or Pitbull, whichever you choose since they're next to each other, give the bike a good once over since your dealer is either incompetent or a liar.

The dealer has a 1-D-10-T error code on his personal BUDS (idiot)
