Problem or by design? My 2013 R3T with 22k has a perceptible wobble in the front end when making moderate angle right turns between 25 and 40 mph. Seems like it's always been that way, have run both bridgestone and Avon tires. It's fine to the left and fine at higher speeds. All regular maintenance performed at 10k and 20k. Comments?
 
never had or noticed that on my 07 before tires aint cupped are they?thought I heard shaft driven bikes act different on turns
 
Mine will do it on straights exactly at 40 mph. I run Avon and Bridgestone. Never noticed it running Metz front and rear. About the only positive thing I can say about the Metz. I tighten down the steering head nut more than spec in which solved the problem but I could feel resistance at slower speeds which wasn't normal. So I torqued to specs and have been living with the wobble. I really believe it has something to with Avon/Bridgestone combo but can't put my finger on why. Others might not have the problem with the combo but really that's the only thing that I can come up with.
If a front tire is out of balance would that cause this?
I wished our bikes had a steering stabilizer built to the bike from the factory.
 
Yep, I'd say something's not right. I've been running that combo the past two years. No wobble, any direction, any speed. Cupping, balance, something loose, but just doesn't seem right to me?

thanks for input guys and even slowing down to try to duplicate : ) .... i added a couple pounds of pressure to the front and will try that ive been at manufactuer number 36 but running avon, i am seeing sidewall at 42....so trying 40 to see wth. balancing and bearing next i guess. wish i could remember but seems like that front has always flexed a bit.
 
yeah, the stablizer strikes a chord. to me it seems the front has flexed a bit at low speeds from day one also. gonna try a back to basics approach and see what comes up. thanks!

When I am out riding tomorrow I will try and slow down to that speed for my turns and report back if I feel anything You have a problem could be as simple as an out off balance tyre , bearings etc etc but get it checked out something is not right.
