I would get ahold of the tire manufacturer and see if they wont take your side. That is BS

 

I'm pretty sure the OEM brake rotor and my Pilot Powers both have directional arrows. Just look at yours closely.

 

I would suggest finding another shop. I mean putting 2k on tires before noticing does go towards the dealers favor. Like said before check your bike... I don't trust any one with the maintenance on mine but my self. And if its something i cannot do i def. look everything over real good before even taking the bike home from the shop.

 

the wheel has a directional arrow and so does the tire

also, basically every crotch rocket is left side drive so it's a no brainer how it goes if you do it every day

the tire manufacturer isn't going to do anything, they don't sell the tires directly to dealers so they have no way of forcing them to assist you

 

i rode a front tire that was backwards for 10k miles it didnt do anything. metzler M3. sure you should get it fixed but i wouldnt be too worried about it, just check next time

 

You sure about this? Where do you think they get the tires they sell? Other dealers? I'm not trying to be sarcastic but anywhere I've ever worked (this is in the automotive field) that sold tires we bought them from the manufacturer. If I worked at the manufacturer and found out about a **** up as dumb as this I'd put pressure on the dealership to make it right. Do dealers and m/c service shops get their tires somewhere else?

 

I know a guy that had the front tire installed backwards. He said it felt like he had more grip. I would say get it on the right direction though. Theres a reason why it has arrows saying put me on this way

 

What about flipping a tire for the track. The track has 8 rights and 2 lefts so natural the right wears faster. Can you flip the tire to get longer wear out of it for the track?
