Front wheel issue.

[CoronaBoner]

Hi

Cleaning the bike today and noticed the front wheel had quite a big "dent" on the rim area.
Have not noticed anything different while riding although its not exactly like i have been riding hard at this time of year aswell as having 2 week old tyres (hence the sticker )

I have hit one or 2 speed humps too quick but thats all i could put it down to
Could this be a serious problem? and will it have to be replaced?

Here's a pic (just under the front tyre valve) yes thats it

It looks like a big enough ding to get it sorted/replaced

I had this ding on my GSXR750 after a accident, never lost any pressure but it I'd never ride on it (well I did for a few miles but... )

i had a dinge very similar on my gsxr400, i rode it for about 6 months like that.

one thing to note is that wether you get it straightened or a new one that one will fail an mot

Damn, will it pass an MOT with it being straightened? as its due one early next year.

Hi

If fixed it should pass an MOT, but as it is it should fail an MOT.

You should be able to get it straightened (think Hagon do it).

All the best
