Upgraging from a 04 VT750 Shadow, the upgrade in power still has not gone un-noticed in all speed ranges. Tire pressure, oil level and change is all the maintnence my motorcycle has required to date as was my late 750 shawdow. Overall great quality and performance from Honda, not just for the price range, but comparable to any other factory motorcycle. Only complaint on the engineering goes un-even ware of the front tire. Shows a slight in-balance to the left side. Considered maybe just a jump to conclusions for me. My uncle owns a 1300c model and he has replaced 3 front tires that all share the uneven ware pattern on the left side of tire. A local dealer has also replaced front tire by brand; Dunlop, Bridgestone, Avon, and michlen. Local dealer made a trade to the owner, hence why its at the dealer. However I believe the engineering in the front forks is slightly flawed just enough to cause uneven tire ware.
Should anybody have any insight on how to adjust or accomidate the problem that I'm experiencing, please comment my review.

Try changing out the steering bearing for the one previously used in the VTX1800.
