Hello yesterday night, when riding home from work, the bike did something that didn't do sense new, at 160kmh started to wobble, I have the bike for 6 years and around 77000km on it, devoured countless tires and never did it again, I've fitted a new set, again, and she started to wobble OK, I'm thinking the new tires are the problem, but why now, they are calibrated??? I also hoping that it cures it self Any recommendations |

I'm putting back the new steering bearings as much as I can, damn expensive, no play on the steering and still smooth and light. last time I replace them I think 36000km and the swing arm ones to, It's do time right  How to do the wheel/fork alignment??? Wheels roll ok, tyre seated ok, light dirt in the rim, wheel bearing change not to long ago, can do it again I suppose I have a miss match set, I'm running a front pirelli and a rear bridgestone, I didn't change them at the same time, the front one was a month apart. One ting I've noticed is that when spinning the front wheel, as fast as I possible can by hand, she does wobble slightly??? removed the 10g weight still wobble. Have no idea if it's the same wobble when doing 160kph, problem can be the tire??? |

It would be useful to go to a place where they can dynamically balance your wheel, to see if it is indeed a wheel balance issue. |
