Re: Left front tire worn out
you have a 06 cbr1k that was brand new in 06?
maybe you have been loaning your ride to a nascar flunky?
do you have pictures, I want to see this. unless your forks are off like this //, then I doubt that can happen unless you take a left to work everyday.

I have seen this type of wear on long range touring bikes that spend a lot of time on the highway. Some attribute this wear pattern to the crown in the road.

Re: Left front tire worn out
This is real common on heavy touring bikes and cruisers. It has been argued over for years: distance difference in left and right turns, crown of the road, Torque of the bike, steering head geometry, suspension too loose or play, blah, blah, blah........
The only things you can do are keep good rubber on it, keep the tires balanced and make certain your forks / suspension are properly aligned and set.
