...wow...that's a good one pete....

..tire wear on slower 50 ccs seems to be worse on the left side...

..i attributed that to the fact that they're generally travelling on the lower portions of the roads...

..make sure the shocks are adjusted equally, would be one thought....

you can adjust for that w/ 4 digital bathroom scales. weigh the bike under each tire. you will see where the extra weight is, and compensate w/ the pre-load on each shock. This is one case where a visual adjustment won't work.
