New back tyre fitted on my 125. But now as I drive along I can feel a bump bump bump, subtle but definitely there.
Seems worse when I do a right hand turn.
Any ideas what it might be.

Tyre not seated properly or out of balance maybe? I'd take it back to where it was fitted and let them sort it out

Tyres usually have a line around the circumference which you can check is parallel to your rim.
If it looks wrong, I would consider a squirt of WD40 and more air in until it popped out more.
It might sort itself out anyway.

When I worked in a garage we had a customer come back after the 'grease monkey' had stuck a new tyre onto his wheel, said it was 'thumping' when he got moving. Took the tyre off and a pair of pliers fell out.

Bang in a lot of air, I have had to go to 90psi to get a tyre to pop up on the bead before now. Once it is up let her down to the right pressure.

90psi Shocked . I'd have to be doing that around the corner of a building.

Who said bikes were safe?
Lube the tyre and rim well ( Durex lube is better than washing up liquid IMHO) and it should pop at a lower pressure but I have had to go to 90. Taking the valve core out when you do it helps as the faster flow of air shocks it on and it is quicker to dump the terrifying amount of kinetic energy that confronts you once it is up on the bead.

Safest to pay a pro to do the job though.

Guess you have never watched a tubeless tyre being fitted before then...

They always over pressure to get the beads to seat properly....

Take a look at some of the skinny pushbike tyres and they run @ over 100psi....

the original post doesn't state tubeless or tubed, if tubed a dodgy inner tube can be the culprit
