The main thing to ensure is that there is no binding of the fork legs when everything is torqued up. You don't want either of the legs bowed in or out of parallel. I just nip the wheel nut up very gently, clamp the fork bottoms up to their correct value, then give the fork a good bouncing to make sure everything is sliding freely. After that torque the wheel nut up to the correct value.

Cheers mango ill give that a go.
I spoke to the gut who fitted the tyre and he said it was just the road camber giving the wear pattern.

I had the same thing here. Aussie roads seem to have more camber on them, and in a lot of cases I can see how much the road slopes to the side.
The RHS of my front tyre was worn a lot more than the LHS and when I asked the tyre guy he said it was because of that.
