Bump up the rear to 15-20psi ...
Thanks for this. I check my shocks today and I had zero air pressure. Apparently I have a leak and need to get to the dealer for a fix.

>>>What wobble are you guys talking about?<<<



I like to think of it as a manageable oscillation. I’ll sometimes feel it in sweepers above 55 mph when hitting a bump. If it spooks you and you dump the throttle it will lighten the rear wheel causing it to worsen. Steady throttle keeps the suspension balanced and neutral allowing your bikes mechanical grip to work and the wobble will fade away. Provided you have good grip with the rear tire you can add a little bit of throttle to make it go away faster by shifting the balance of the bike more towards that rear wheel.

kinda scary if something else is wrong. may have to wait til spring to check it out. ridestr8 might not be installed properly
thanx fellas

but just so I know is there a diff betwwen the two?
They are bascially the same exact same thing....If ridestr8 didn't fix the wobble the Tru track won't either.

I agree with kdietz, that if the RideStr8 didn't cure your problem it must be somewhere else, like perhaps loose steering head bearings. I installed RideStr8 last summer and it cured the small amount of wiggle I had on high-speed sweepers. The principle behind the TT is the same as RideStr8, so I doubt if you'd see any improvement by going that route.

You may need new swing-arm bushings. Sta-bo bushings are recommended here on the forum very often.
