techno Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Thought i may ask well as you guys, on arriving in montrose on fri the front end suddenly started to wobble, basically upto about 35mph you feel it throuh the bars its not major just annoying after 35 nothing upto well not so legal speeds.Nothing is loose and we had just done a major run on motorway tyre is pretty much in a position to be replaced I havent knocked the wheel so the only conclusion i could come to is the tyre is out of shape anybody any othjers ideas or is this the most likely problem?

Stu Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 could be a combination of the tyre and the luggage too see if it does it without the luggage and see what its like after new tyre too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanJ Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I get that on my scoot, and with my flip-front helmet I need to take my hands off of the bars momentarily to engage the safety lock, and the bars start to wobble uncontrolably. A change of tyre seemed to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
