So I just replaced the OEM Pirelli's on my XB12Scg with some Michelin Road Pilot 2's. At speed, I'm starting to get some front end 'wobbles'.
I had them mounted/balanced by Cycle gear and have about 100 miles on them so far. I'm noticing at speed (~85-90 MPH) that the front starts to wobble and the bike acts like it's having a mini-tank slapper. I went with the same profile as the OEM Pirellis.
I've checked/rechecked/re-torqued the axle bolts on the front and back, air pressure (front and rear are 34 PSI cold) but the bike still does this whenever i give it that much 'gas'.
What's possibly causing this and how do i fix it?? |

Might check the directional arrows on the tires, and make sure they did not get mounted 'backwards'. Then prop the front wheel off the ground, and check the steering stem bearings for looseness. If still no problems, try adjusting tire pressures 2-3 psi. The beads did seat properly, correct?
Hope this helps, Dave |
