wobble

rainman, I had the same problem and I had put a new tire on it and a few weeks latter I got the wobble and brought it to my dealer and they said it was a defect and replace another new tire and it was good .
 
Lovely not only cant I get my dealer to do this but when they do I will have to go back and deal with wobbly tires. :D I guess Ill let the first ones figures it out then Ill get on my dealer about replacing my tires!

woble

my dealer exchaged my new tire with no problem, I drove on my first tire for a mounth before it started to woble and they gave me another with no fight that was cool.
 
Yeah thats really cool. I still have yet to hear from my dealer after intially making contact with them on the tire recall. Ill be sure to tell them an issue has developed.
Thanks for the update!:D

My tire initially only wobbled on a slow curve to the right.......made it nice to ride the dragon on.....but on the way home it started to wobble on the left as well........Rainman will call the dealer today.Will let yall know what they say....
 
You guys might also check the head stock bearings, or have them checked. I had to check mine right after I put new tires on back at about the 12,000 mile mark. My head stock bearing retaining nuts were LESS than finger tight. I honestly don't think the lock nut was ever tight from day one, and it just made it's way loose over time. They were spinning they're way off, leaving the front end just wobbling around up there. I completely removed the front end, cleaned and re-greased the head stock bearings and put it all back together, adjusting the retaining nuts properly and have not had a problem since. I'm at 43,000 miles now.
 
sweettennbabe toke hers to the dealer today and let air out of the tire so far that has took care of it 34lb front 42lb back
 
had a funeral yesterday to ride to and the tire pressure didnt fix the problem........the tech at the dealer rode my bike around a subdivision and couldnt duplicate the problem......this time hes gonna ride it right or hes gonna ride with me......Hell I will take him on the dragon if hes scared to do it himself......
