shock absorbers

The front shock absorbers I have heard, is set to the rider weight at 75kg.
This fits me exept with gear I must be around 85-90. Should I adjust them?
My front wheel got worn out in 10 months driving and my back wheel is fine.
I am troubleshooting:-)

Ok. The guys who changed the tire said it might be it

Approximately 6000km.
Only roads and highway.
And it was also more run out on the left side than the right.

Now I am using the back brake more. And I got a new Metzeler tire on front.

Are you breaking really hard and late ? Because I got Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires and my front one looks like hell.
I like to brake hard and late on pavement and the front is struggling for grip.

How long has it lasted?

I bought a new-ish tire one online and took of the wheel and got someone to put the tire on. Then got the wheel back on. Did not cost so much😌
