Stock size Metzler question
#21
Thanks clutch.
I've already tried all that stuff. Max pressure on my front 21 rides horrible (40psi). I run the front at 36 now and the rear at 44. The wobble is a little less, but still there when I force it. Doing the ting tong check on the font I think my front spokes might be a little loose. When I take the front wheel off for my shock oil I'm going to get them re-torqued and trued. I'm hoping that's the final straw. I'm beginning to think it's not the rear tire because I just can't see that the rear tire is making this happen when it's well within it's weight limit. When I bumped up the front tire pressure the wobble lessened, but it still there, which is making me think it was to be that front wheel. One of these days I'll bring it by a ship and let a pro hear it and let me know.

Also today I was practicing my swerving and when I would immediately swerve from the right side of the lane to the right I noticed it felt the bike would kind of flop over. Never did that before. Watching the front shocks (going left to right) when I would press to go right front forks compressed. press left to straighten up in the right side of the lane the fron would shortly decompress, then compress, once straight up it did a final decompress then settled. Mind you all it 2 secs or so. Before when I use to practice my swerving it was smooth no matter what and that was even with the 21" front. Now it feels kind of like a bad shock on a car, only when swerving though. It feels fine and normal driving and taking the twisties. Just these quick movements feels weird. I'm due for shock oil and have it in the garage and I'm hoping this will fix that, but do you guys think that could be a wobble cause??

Yup I got it all figured out. It was the Dunlop roadsmart tire I was running. When it would heat up the tire would just turn into jello and giving me the wobble. I ended up going back to a stock K591 and the wobble is gone. I was pretty amazing how squishy the tire got and it was suppose to be a dual compound tire.
Here's the video.
