Had my front metzler tyre replaced just over a year ago with an avon cobra chrome, i cant say i noticed with the metzler but ever since ive had a slight wobble when leaning left or right. I put up with it for a while then had the wheel rebalanced and also stripped the forks and replaced seals and oil, as i had a leaking seal and thought that could be it.

It didn't

Has anyone had anything similar or any ideas? Bearings seem ok.

Thanks in advance
 
Just read a post from Fozzie, faulty front tyre or rear wheel bearings are the likely culprits.

(Apologies, i can't see how to delete my post now i know the answer )
 
It is common letting off at about 45-55 without hands on bars it will go into a tank slaper just keep your hands or at least one hand on the bars.
never hear about going left or right.
metzs will make a noise when the side gets worn sounds like a bad bearing.

let the post run you may get some more posts helping you out
make sure that front tire is seated correct all the way around on both sides.

Im thinking tyre too, i dont recall it when i had the metzler on. I think ill get a new front tyre and wheel bearings, if that doesnt fix it ill look at the rear wheel bearings.
