Hello and welcome.
Not to worry about the cupping or scalping.
Cupping, or scalloping, is a natural wear pattern on motorcycle tires that follows the tread pattern. It is not a sign that you have bad suspension parts but shows that your tire is gripping the road when you make turns. Extreme forces that come in to play when the bike is leaned in a turn produce the effect. The leading edge of the tread grips the road and the rubber is scuffed off the tire in that area causing a depression. As the tire rotates, the pressure moves to the trailing edge of the tread pattern and the tire flexes there which causes less scuffing so less material is ground off the tire. The more complex the tread pattern, the more complex the scalloping pattern will be. Softer tire compounds are more prone to cupping. Improper balance has nothing to do with "cupping" on a motorcycle tire. Improper balance will merely cause your bike to vibrate at speed. Low tire pressure will exacerbate this wear pattern.
