Re: Which tyre is best for Gixxer 155 ? Is there any issue with using 140/70 tyres on it ?
Do check the wheel alignment if possible. Perhaps while fitting the wheel, it was slightly misaligned.
You'll be able to notice by looking at the markers near the axle bolt on either side of the swingarm. If it's even slightly misaligned, get the SVC guys to 'tighten the chain' and tell 'em to be careful about straightening the wheel too. Telling you to instruct them in this manner because SVC peeps are lazy at times, they might make a fuss if you directly tell them to just straighten the wheel. [emoji12]
Hopefully the fix is as simple as this. On my Duke though, everything was in place and the bike still had that weird wear. And it surprisingly disappeared after I changed my tyres; the new ones have been uniformly worn for the past 8k kms.
