Hey fellas, I wanted to follow-up on this just in case you've experienced something similar. I put my bike on the lift to inspect the rear tire. At first glance everything looked fine. I started her up and let her idle in 1st. The tire had two significant bulges close to both sidewalls. It's a good thing that I don't live near the border because I would have been nabbed for smuggling. The dealership took a look and immediately replaced the tire under warranty. They said the belt(s) were beginning to fail. I'm sure this is an isolated incident, but if you're experiencing unusual feedback especially at full lean then take a look at your tire.

 

I've been trolling here for awhile now and got some good stuff and ideas for my Bo from everyone.
For this thank you.


Wondering if u had any pics?

 

Sorry my friend, I didn't take any pictures. I don't think I could have captured the deformity anyway. I should have taken a short video now that you bring it up.

 

A really good way to find the less visible defects is when you are washing your bike; you would be surprised how small a defect you can feel with your fingertips. This is why really good bodymen at body shops use this technique.

Tried that. Didn't work.

 

Let me get this straight: you could not feel it but could see it? Wow, you are unusual. Ask any body repair guy.

Few shots of my breakout after a wash. Changing out the headlight and adding a chin spoiler next week.

 

Sorry for the double post.

 

How about this, Jim. I'm just going to come straight to you whenever I've have an issue with my bike or life in general. You seem to have it all figured out. NO, I couldn't f*cking feel it with my hands. Isn't that what I just told you? The dealership had to run it on a stand as well. Do you want their number so you can square them away too?

Does anyone's breakout when going straight look like the handle bars are crooked?
