Since i replaced my front tire 2 months ago, i have a mild woble between 35 and 50 mph, not before or after, if i take my hands away from the bars it starts slowly and gets worse gradually, tire is a dunlop i think, pressure is right,, any ideas?
 
I think the clan will ask if the tire was balanced when put on. I have that problem on my smaller bike when I let off on the gas. This only happens when the tire pressure is low.
 
I had the dealer tighten up a bold on the triple tree to solve that issue with mine.
 
Things to check in order, based on my experience with similar problem:
  1. PSI
  2. Axle bolt drifted home, then puch bolts tight
  3. Tire balance
  4. Defective tire
  5. Steering stem assy.
I found that my problem was a defective tire. Finally came to that conclusion after repeating 1st three steps above - to no avail, then by reinstalling my (nearly) worn-out front tire, and noting that wobble was no longer present. Am now awaiting delivery of a replacement new front tire, ordered from Bike Bandit
 
All the talk I said (good) about the Dunlaps I put on mine,
the D251's, on my R3T, and now they shake up front and
sing a loud song. Coulld be the new tire Lupe. I would start
there. I even thought about installing a steering stablizer.
