Could be. Thanks. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone Original message From: 'Hawaii Sean' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!

I once had a deep gouge all the way around my rear tire, I had to replace it with only about 2,000 miles in it. I did remember hearing a strange rubbing sound for about 15 second and the a clunk a day or so before I saw the damage to the tire. My best guess is that something got stuck in my tire and fender between the tire and frame and basically rubbed away the tire until it could fit between the tire and fender and the flew off the bike. Looks like something similar could have happened to your tire.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Tire wear.
I put a wider than stock rear tire on the 83' 550 and learned a couple things. Yeah, it looked nice and cleared the drive shaft fine, on days of average temperature, tire pressure and load. But when it got hot, or the tire pressure was too high (or too low) or I actually rode two up, it would rub. It does not take too much to make the clearances go away. AND THEN WHEN IT DOES it starts to rub slightly and then the problem accelerates dramatically until you are smelling hot rubber. All-in-all just a little bit more trouble than any perceived aesthetics or performance value. Once again, Honda did it right the first time. If you have a chain then I suppose the rub pattern would look irregular, maybe like that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Tire wear.
It almost looks like you hit something going around the corner and it gouged the tire. Albeit, in a really nice lean! Could be heat related... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
