[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1417216, member: 3187"] I agree that changing the tyre can end up with misaligned forks, and that such misalignment could easily lead to your marks. Bear in mind that a normal service would not include removing the wheel. You need to ask your service people to slacken the pinch bolts and re-torque them according to the Service Manual (the procedure includes the "bounce" suggested above). If it's of any help, below is the proper procedure.
