Front tire cupping

here is dunlop's answer.

 

Dunlop FAQ.

 

 

I cup my front's pretty bad, not quite close to Paul's, but bad for a street bike, and I am very hard on front brakes.

 

Makes my wife hold me tighter :wub:

My V11S used to have a cupping problem. After I made the suspension adjustments detailed by Todd Eagan (here) the problem has pretty much gone away - and the handling has greatly improved. This info was for a 2000 V11S, though, so I don't know if it applies to current models.

Front cupped very badly on my original 020's. F & b wore out at 3,400miles, never felt confident of grip.

Swapped to Pirelli Diablos, lasted 2,800 miles wear was very even f & b, gripped better.

Don't know how relevant as I was messing w/suspension throughout. It was better sorted for Pirellis.
