I was recently told that I should weave in my lane periodically if I'm on a straight road for a long time to help prevent a "flat" spot around my rear tire. Weaving will help even out the wear on the tire and keep it rounded. The center of the rear tire was starting to develop a small flat spot around it when I got the bike from the previous owner a couple months ago. I was told that if I continue to ride lots of straight roads that it would get worse. If it does get worse, I won't have as much tread on the ground when I take turns (the tire will almost have a little point to it). Overall both tires have a great amount of tread on them so I'm not worried about that. The concept makes sense... it's just that no one has told me this yet, so I would like to know if this is a common practice for motorcyclists.
Thanks for the input! :thumbup:
