Wobbles

#1 Unread post by The Doctor »

My buddy has a SV650 and he just got the front tire changed. He said that when he hits between 90 and 100 MPH his bike wobbles. Anybody know what this could be? maybe he is going to fast for what the bike can handle or his tire wasn't balance right?
Thank you

Out of balance.

They didn't balance the front wheel quite correctly, and I hope to God your friend is achieving those speeds at the track and not on public roads.

It's just his nerves causing his hands to shake which in turn is causing the front wheel to wobble. :laughing:
