Outcome to mysterious tyre ware!! Had not been checking tyre pressure and rear tyre had nail in it!! Culminating in slow leak and when pressure low few riding symptoms of low pressure before a then sudden right hand only wear. This supposedly produced by camber of road. (Charged .5 hour for replace of tyre....sympathy from dealer as only 4000ks on new rocket and job took lots longer) I noticed a drop in fuel economy 2 weeks of riding just prior to event, suppose ware occurred over this period. Issue has done nothing for my self esteem but most impressed by rockets ability to function well on very low rear tyre pressure. Learned all about trailering 700+lbs for 4 hours to dealer + 4 hours back. Petrol cost of range rover as much as half the new tyre...which is why I brought the bike in the 1st place.. my thread seems to wonder here so I,ll sign off. Thanks for all past help over this line. Cheers.
