Hi Folks,
This is Jason from Mumbai residing in malald. I am in need of dire help for my 2011 karizma. I have noticed that my front tire and my rear tire are misaligned, there is at least a 1 to 2 inches difference i guess. When i ride on another bike from behind i can clearly see that the front tire is inclined towards the left and the rear tire towards the right. Looking at this what i understand is either the front fork is out or the rear swing arm is out. I also visited mahim fortpoint and showed my bike to kevin, he worked on the bike but i wasn't satisfied with his response because the problem was unresolved. He did try the basics like chain setting, tightening the swing arm a bit, checking both the rear axels, inspecting the fork but the problem still exist. He also assured me that the misalignment in both the tires would not result in any problem since the handling is not affected but I am not really convinced with the response. I know for a matter of fact that the top speed handling and executing turns at good speeds would definitely be a problem. I also read online that misalignment of both tires can affect the tires, chain sprockets, and suspensions as well. I am really worried because my bike is only seven months old and this problem never existed before. I personally feel it has happened due to the bad roads in my area. A whole one kilometer stretch is under redevelopment and due to which the roads are become miserable (kind of dirt road) and when I get late to work at times used to ride a bit fast than normal on those roads. I really need help on this guys since I am very upset with this situation. I thank you all in advance.
