    I know he doesn't have TC Jimbo, if U read my post again I stated if he was cornering on the Rev limiter the Rev limiter would act much like a TC system would cutting and reapplying the power all the way through the corner.

    Unlikely but still possible............ :p

    Yes highly unlikely.... So unlikely that I think my chain option is erm... Likely lol

    Tyre wear would show way way further from the edge if it was suspension.... Rebound or compression as like you say, more likely you get on the power whilst the bike is more stood up ;)

    Here's mine when I had been out on a ride taking in a few of my favourite.... Hump backs....

    Just saying like.....

    You'll notice it's on the left side.... With a full chain guard and perfect tyre wear ;)

    Ocd.... Look on underside of chain at front of rear wheel, push it towards the tyre and see if it'll touch / get close.... As said, wheel alignment could be out. But guessing not with the ocd thing lol

    The consistency is the thing that makes me question my theory.... Unless there is a particularly bumpy section at pembury over a crest of a hill left handed?

    The compound 'join' is also a good couple inches away from edge so not sure on that either?

    Either way.... Fcuk knows ha ha

    Is it the marking on the edge of the tyre you have the question about?

    If so, are the marks the same on the other side of the tyre? And what tyre is it?

    wack a few clicks on the rebound to slow it down and also check chain tension.

    also if you want a big piston shock I have one sat in the garage :)

    The bike has a big piston shock fitted ... :)

    It's NOT the chain - how many more times lol.

    I've increased the rebound one full turn.

    I've not used any other tyres on this bike ... just Metzeler M7RR for the last 10k miles.

    id check the chain... just once more... to be sure.... :)

    really dont think it's rebound as sure you'd see the wear further from the edge.... let us know how you get on though, but likely wont happen again as donny will have a different effect on suspension and tyres....

    The million dollar question.....

    You mean the the right hand side that would be testing the rebound more on a right corner track?

    Other side is similar... just not as noticable.
