·The rear tires of my 750SS and CB750 wore out at the same time. When installing the new tire on the 750SS all is good up to a torque of 30Nm on the spindle nut. At the recommended 72Nm, the tire won't rotate by hand, but will rotate with much resistance when taken off the stand. Disassembled and reassembled three times, but same result. This is the first time I've replaced a rear tire on this bike. What am I missing?!?!?! No problem with the CB's tire.
Also, a local independent dealer told me that 99% of mail-order/internet motorcycle tires were "blems." While I suspect a bit of embellishment on his part, I'm wondering if it's possible to a lesser degree and how a buyer can protect himself. I asked the dealership mechanic who mounted my internet tires if he could recognize a "blem," and he said "a tire's a tire to me."
