Front wheel issue

[Cierzo]

Hi fellas, first of all sorry for my English, it's not my first language and probably there will be a lot of mistakes!

I have a doubt.:

Is it possible that the front wheel of our motorcycle is not centered with respect to its longitudinal axis?
Because I appreciate a deviation. A big one, and I've never touched anything in the front wheel.

Can’t answer your question but try a search here. I seem to remember this being discussed previously.

Yes, "The fender is centered but the wheel is offset for handling and bike balance."
that is discussed in this thread: So what have you fettled on that Rocket lately?

Thank you so much! I'll take a look!!

The guys are correct. The front wheel is slightly offset to because of the triple cylinder/shaft drive configuration to allow it to track straight while driving.

Yes correct, I took this up with the dealer how the top of the range Triumph can not have the front guard not centred with the wheel, they said all are like this and due to the reasons in this thread, still I think Triumph could have cosmetically fixed this very easily...

they could easily hang some "truck balls" in the left side and leave the wheel in peace... but then again, that is a local thing I guess they didn't know...
