If my riding scares you, just imagine how I feel
Bike/tire specs:
Sv650, pirelli 160/60 SC1, hot pressure 26psi

Red arrow point to the problem
Green arrow indicates direction of rotation

This is the rear tire of my track bike. There’s rubber build up on the forward edge of the hole and I can’t seem to find a DMT video to help me diagnose what suspension adjustment to make to get rid of it.
Can anyone assist me?

You adjust suspension for handling and feedback of the bike, not tire wear. If you don't have any complaints about the bike itself, leave it alone.

This, but I will ask, when was the last time you had your rear shock serviced? If not within the last two seasons, I would do that.

OK then, John's advice applies then.

Other observation 2 out of 3 holes in that picture don't show the buildup. Especially the one on the side of the tire, which are the ones that matter the most. The holes in the center, meh. If you really had an issue it would show on every dot.

I could have sworn Dave Moss has said the opposite because you’re coasting on the side but maybe I am mistaken.
Guess I have more research to do lol
