When my tires get worn out I take off the wheels and take them to the dealer to be change. This way I can look at the bearings and make sure everything is ok. This time I notice that the tire on the front wheel is going the wrong direction. Since I have duel brakes on the front I just spun the tire around so the left rotor is now the right rotor. In the manual it says not to do this, but that is with stock rotors. On my bike I have the floating rotors and there is no left or right rotor. Do you thing that this could cause a problem? The tire is going in the right direction and both rotors are the same I do not see any problems, the bike seems to stop good. But I am about to take a long trip and I do not want any problems.

 

you will be fine. harley have is way to do is stuff .you know they selling brake pads for rear brake. so don t worry mrfuji

 

Did you check the direction arrow on the tire? A lot of the new tires look like they might be running backward but are designed that way, CHECK the arrows.

 

What Lone Rider said, check the direction arrow on the sidewall.

 

If you had ABS, the trigger wheel is in the left side bearing so flipping the wheel will disable your ABS and cause the light to glow brightly. Don't ask me how I know...

 

The arrow is going the right direction that is why I rotate the wheel. No ABS thanks

 

Should be fine

 

You might want to check how your brake disc are oriented in the calipers after switching the direction of the wheel...As the way the bearings are installed the spacing usually has an offset that will cause bearing or brake problems down the road...I would have the dealer put the tire on correctly if I were you.
