I just hit 6500 miles and need a new rear tire due to regular wear. I got to looking at my front tire when calling around and it has good tread but is very choppy. I really dont feel it when riding but to feel it with my hand and see it is very concerning. Its an 07 1k with Factory front tire.

 

Is there a question here?

If it concerns you then change it out. I would.

 

That's called cupping, which is more accurately described as scalloping, is a natural wear pattern on motorcycle tires and it will always follow the tread pattern. It is not a sign that you have bad suspension parts. It merely shows that your tire is indeed gripping the road when you make turns. Aren't I smart? Nah, here's a good article relating to tire wear: LINK

 

Thanks Incognito, I apologize for not making my question clear but Incognito answered it, I was wondering if there was problem causing the wear. I work on cars and this signals problems so since i am new to bikes i figured i would ask. Thanks.

 

Well is the tire cupping, or is it actually choppy/wavy? Cupped is from cornering, but actually being choppy could just be a bad tire. My factory front tire on my f4i, Battleaxe bt010, did this and it only had 3500 miles on the bike. My tire looked like a set of moguls on a ski slope. Never had any other tire have that problem except that one though. but I run michelins now.
