Checked and adjusted the fall away. Took her out and still having a good amount of wobble when I get close to 75mph. I was able to make it go away by gripping down like a motherf%#*r on the grips. I'm having a feeling the dyna balancing beads are causing this by running them in a tube. I think I stepped outa my wheel house by changing my own tires but I did it and now have to figure out the foul up

I put in 1 ounce in the front and 2 in the rear that is what the manufacture recommends. Checked for binding in front, brakes off and bike lifted and the damn wheel will spin forever. Also put a run out gauge to it and the brake rotor and both seem to be pretty true. Bike has 15000 so I didn't think to check swing arm since it hasn't been touch but will give that a look tomorrow.

Quit blaming it on the Dyna Beads! Nobody has bothered to ask if you've done anything to the front end, like extend it or something. What shape are your rear shocks in? If you don't have something obvious like a negative trail or something it's probably the bearings in your ft wheels and/or neck. Leave the tire alone until you've tried some of these other suggestions.

Only thing done to front end is 16 inch apes. Rear shocks seem to be good. Bike ran perfect four days ago and 80 to 85 mph is the norm for my daily commute. For a bike with 15000 miles bearing going bad seems premature too me, but I'm a novice so I really don't know. I have tried every suggestion given besides change the fork oil, which is one that will have to wait till tomorrow. The reason I keep going back to the tire is cause that's all I changed. Pulled wheel off, changed tire and tube, installed dyne beads then reinstalled everything and now I have wobble where I never had any before

axel, spacers and everything go back in the same place? Can you lift the front end off the ground and spin the tire? Is it centered? Wobble? Still think you could have bad or loose neck bearings. EDIT: Wait, you have Dyna Beads inside of a tube? Did you always? Can you do that?

i ordered my beads from dk....one ounce in front tube....take valve stem out and pour in...two ounces in rear....i have not test road it but i know they work fine.....is it possible that your tire has a broken belt? older tire that was sitting around for a while? whats the date code? does it match the rear tire? are the beads seated perfectly? if you spin the wheel is the tire perfectly round? whats your tire pressure?
again checking rear swingarm bearings and bolts is easy....dont blame the beads....a lot of people use them....hopefully you put them in the tube thats all
dont stress...you will figure it out...like i said it could just be a bad tire....did you match mount it? line up the dot to the valve stem? rotor bolts nice and tight?
just throwing it all out there to give you things to look at thats all. hope you sort it out....dont go riding it if it does not feel safe
