      get new tyre.........maybe 100/90-18 if you can sacrifice a wee bit of FE
      Be what you are, not what you want others to perceive you to be.

        whats the condition of ur tyre ? is there any tread left .also check if rear tyre is properly aligned cos misalignment causes skidding .

          Go in for a new rear tyre. As bobby wish said the 100/90 will be the best upsize for your bike if you can compromise on little bit of FE drop. The dunlop geocruise has done pretty well for me, do check out other options too.

            While the tyre could be the cause, 1st check the alignment of the rear tyre - check that the axle is aligned correctly on both sides.

            Which tyre are you currently on?

              hey bro..

              the three possible causes are :

              1: alignment
              2: wearing of the tyre on a particular side
              3: shocks ( just see if they have the same height)

              i think it is the first one though cuz thats the most common problem. the tyre might not be aligned straight. just a matter of adjusting the screws at the end of the swing arm after lossening the tyres main side bolts.
