  • Front and rear tire

    I used to use center stand to Park my bike when iwasnt riding it. My brother rode it last and used the kickstand and it's been parked like that for about one year... I left town and couldn't sell it on time. Now When I ride it, front tire feels uneven. Is that something that by riding it will even out or is the tire damaged and needs to be changed??
    Bike still for sale if interested. 2006 katana gsx only 1500 miles on it. Lots of upgrades

      I've left bikes sitting for longer than that, and had no problems. Check the pressure, and then take it for a good blast at highway speed (like, a solid 20-30 miles). Once the tire gets good and warm it should straighten out, if that was indeed the problem.

        Most likely solution.

        But it is also possible that the tires got a little flat spot from sitting. Exercise them a little bit, and it should resolve itself. 30-60 miles at highway speeds should get them up to temp and let them return to their natural form.

        Just because they sound the same doesn't mean they are: there≠their≠they're; to≠too≠two; its≠it's; your≠you're; know≠no; brake≠break
