When I was putting Zrex to bed last night I noted that his front wheel is starting to wear more on the righthand side than the left. No damage or feathering. I've never had this happen before... Is this because I do more right turns than left ones or should I get the front suspension checked/adjusted?

Probably just road camber, most NZ roads are slightly higher in the middle than at the edges, if you ride for the same number of kms on the wrong side of the road the tyre wear should even out

Could be all of the above especially the camber and you may find riding round right hand curves you typically have more view therefore go a bit quicker.
Otherwise if the bike is to blame and you haven't bent it at all it is more than likely wheel alignment and you need to make sure the back wheel is absolutely adjusted evenly left and right - i.e. exactly on the same index marks. If it's skewed slightly right at all you will bias wear on the front tyre on the right side.

Ive heard in Britain some have an annual tyre swap with a Frenchy.

The thought of swapping "rubber" with a Frenchman boggles the mind (or with anybody for that matter)... I hope that there's no correspondence involved...

Hitcher, your front tyre - is it directional? if not then it's an easy fix isn't it?

I'd rather be thinking
Too subtle, I'm afraid. Come to think of it, the connection between rubber and Gallic epistles is probably meaningless to the younger generation...
Nope - we've just heard that one from you "old" fellas so many times we can't muster the energy to respond!Too subtle, I'm afraid. Come to think of it, the connection between rubber and Gallic epistles is probably meaningless to the younger generation...
