Rear tire cupping on the D407
« on: November 17, 2009, 08:18:01 PM »
I took the RG to the dealer today in regards to the rear tire. I spoke to MoCO customer service and Dunlop nether are willing to do anything about the problem. According to them there is no problem with the rear. I am not a happy camper  right now ! I will speak to Dunlop tomorrow and see how far up there a$$ i can fit.  :nixweiss:

I was just told the same thing about the rear.  Yes there is a front issue.  No there is no rear issue.

Under inflation can be the cause  :nixweiss: Had a similiar situation in Sturgis this year and had to make a unexpected stop at the Metzeler tent. The Rep stated regardless of what tire brand you are running, ALWAYS set tire(s) at "max cold setting and ride on  :2vrolijk_21:

BINGO!!! PUT MORE AIR IN EM IF THEY START CUPPING! It'll actually correct the cupping if it's not too bad! ;)

Ditto the bingo!

I think somebody screwed the pooch on inflation pressures with these things...Pay attention to your butt riding and adjust it til it feels better.

I am at 42-43 in the new 408 front and 44ish in the 407 rear..

Watch it Rick, they see burnt rubber inside your rear fender, it might be game over (unless you plan on paying yourself)! If that's the case, have at it! ;)

And don't forget.....

Miker,

Are you running those tire pressures all the time, one up, two up and /or loaded?

Thanks,

john

Tom,

I have always run the reccommended cold pressures on my bikes.  But they all had the 402's.  Obviously these new tires are a different animal.

My dealer gave me no hassle about my rear tire they measured it and there was 3/32" difference from the low to high side. Replaced under warranty.
Nice to have a dealer that cares. The front tire was also replaced account cupped.
