Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Tire brands on my 09 America?

I have a wobble at 45 to 60 not as bad on some road surfaces but had the problem when i bought the bike in November of last year. The dealer checked it out and said it was balance and said it was fixed and it was better but not 100%,now it's getting bad again and I was wondering if it's the differant brand tires,the rear has the Metzeler Marathon that the bike came with and the front has a Bridgestone Exedre L309 110/90-18.now the bike only had 3600.miles on it when I got it so now I am wondering if this is the cause of my wobble any ideas?

I would bet it's the Bridgestone, others including Wendy had issues with those causing a wobble. Haven't had a problem since we ditched it.

Have you checked your air pressure? Tires cupping? I have switched to ceramic balancing beads in my tires with good results, although some on here have expressed, they do not work for them.

Yes tire preasure is right on both tires Dog what brand of tire did you go with?

I have a similar issue at 38 to 50. Same tire set up. The shop is putting a ME880 on the front Saturday, if that does not work the forks have to come off for cleaning and new oil. Alignment on mine seems fine.

Michlin on her bike and Dunlop on mine, J&P had great deals on Dunlops not sure about now. Both have been fine so far. Both have IRC Wild Flare on the back so not matched sets.

any mods to the height of your bike, change of trail etc ?

No speedmaster all stock except for the front tire I asked the dealer why it was a new tire when I got the bike in November with onlt 3600. miles he said the old one did not look in good shape
