I thought it was because it was windy when i tried last, but tonight there was very little wind.

Up over about 70mph the bike starts to wiggle and judder since i've had my new tyres on, it's fking scary Confused

It didn't do this before, was pretty smooth.

What's going on? Are they inflated to the wrong pressure I wonder? Or something else?

Thanks Wink

Wheel adjustment? Are they in straight?

Did it all go back together in the correct order, with all the spacers right?

my cbr250 used to do the same thing at speeds at 180kmh plus it never felt very happy and used to weave about

could it be simply that the bike was not designed to go that fast?

also might be something to do with tyre speed rating as well, not a clue to be honest, but always made me nervous on the cbr

you never got those speeds unless on a big motorway hill with the wind behind you though Razz

Notice he didn't tell me these things until AFTER I had purchased the bike off him. Rolling Eyes

Although saying that I haven't noticed it weaving about, however I can't say I have taken it up to 180kmh since the speed limits round here are all 70mph.

I should hope it's all back ok, but I have no idea whatsoever, as RideinTyres did it.

Shocked

Hi

Tyre preasures? Wheel balance? Tyre out of alignment? Wheel spindle loose? Bad case of wind?

All the best
