bhanxx Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 My godkid had new Pilot Powers mounted up by shop on his SV650. The rear was mounted right way, the front the wrong way :roll: . How serious is this? I think very... I told him to take back to dealer and have them replace tire and mount it right. He bought the tire off the internet. Suggestions please...

GimPin Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 isnt there an arrow on most tires that shows how to mount it??? leave it to a dealer to screw that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Maybe he has the rim mounted backwards Go back, have the tire re-mounted properly. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxexcess Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 If the tyre is new remount if he has done a few miles i would put a new one on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXX Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 It matters, but it is not a huge deal. We flip tires around all the time at Brainerd to get the wear out of both sides (Brainerd eats the right side of a tire but leaves the left alone, only 3 lefts, the rest are very hard on the right). Take it back, have it remounted. Their fuck-up. MaXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbird Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 It happened to me, same setup too, rear was right, front was wrong. The kicker was, the arrow on the wheel and arrow on the tire were lined up PERFECTLY so it took me a whole 2 seconds to spot it. I showed it to the guy I know up there and you should have seen his jaw drop. They fixed it right then. I used to not check them until I got home, but now I check everytime I have one done.
