Hey guys, I bought a ytm225 a few weeks ago. It has all new carlisle tires. The problem is that my front tire is wearing into my my front fork on the side with the break on it. I was just wondering if there was any way to move the front tire towards the right more so I can have good clearance with ought having to switch tires altogether. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Check front wheel offset, You may have to remove the wheel and tire combo,spin 180 and remount.

Like stated above, check and make sure your wheel is installed correctly. If you install it with offset to one side or the other, the machine is going to handle like absolute arse. You want that wheel perfectly centered.

If you have the wheel centered and you still have problems with the tire rubbing, take an angle grinder to the knobbies on the side of the tire.

Ok, it handles great but there is definatley more spice on the right side than the left side.
