Wheel Alignment
Correct front and rear wheel alignment so your bike tracks straight, without pulling to one side or wearing tyres unevenly.
Wheel misalignment often happens gradually — after a pothole hit, a minor accident, or simply normal wear on suspension linkages — and shows up as the bike subtly pulling to one side, uneven tyre wear, or a feeling that the handlebar isn't quite centred when riding straight. Wheel alignment brings the front and rear wheels back into proper relative position, which is especially important in a city like Pune where potholes and uneven road surfaces are a regular part of riding.
Common Symptoms
- The bike pulls slightly left or right even when riding straight
- Uneven tyre wear, more pronounced on one side of the tread
- The handlebar feels off-centre when the front wheel is straight
- A recent pothole hit, minor fall, or accident
Estimated Duration
30–45 minutes
Recommended Service Interval
Whenever pulling or uneven wear is noticed, or after hitting a significant pothole
Best For
Riders noticing the bike pull to one side, uneven tyre wear, or after a pothole impact — common on Pune's road surfaces.
What's Included
- Front and rear wheel alignment check

Alignment Check
Front and rear wheel alignment is measured relative to the bike's centreline.
- 2
Identify Cause

Test Ride
A short ride confirms the bike now tracks straight.
Frequently Asked Questions
The most common sign is the bike pulling to one side even when you're not steering, along with uneven tyre wear or a handlebar that feels off-centre while riding straight.
Common causes include hitting a pothole hard, a minor fall or accident, or gradual wear in suspension and chain-adjustment components over time.
Yes, riding with misaligned wheels causes uneven tyre wear, which can shorten tyre life and affect grip in certain conditions.
No — alignment corrects the wheels' relative positioning so the bike tracks straight, while balancing addresses weight distribution around the wheel to prevent vibration. They're often checked together but solve different problems.
There's no fixed interval, but it's worth checking after any significant pothole hit or if you notice pulling or uneven wear — Pune's road conditions make this a fairly common need.
Typically 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how much adjustment is needed.
