I barrel rolled my 2000 DS650 a while back and now the right front tire is tilted in on top. It wore the tire out real quick. I don't see any adjustment to correct this problem. Could I have bent the spindle? Any help or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

If the tire wore strangly and you can see it tilting in at the top it sure sounds like somethings amiss, is the tire wearing along one shoulder? or all accross evenly but just faster than the other? I haven't heard of a spindle being damaged in a light roll (I'm assumeing this was a light roll?) I have hear of A-arms, tie rods and steering shafts being bent, it kind of sounds like a bent A-arm, possibly a damaged ball joint. Have you taken off bothe the front tire to eyeball things, comparing one side to the other? May be unbolt the shocks and move the suspension thru it's travel see if you can feel binding
