Default 30-50 Mph Wobble

Around about 30 miles an hour the handlebars began to shake a little. Not so much to scare me but enough to make me wonder. I was curious what could be causing this. Ive asked around and got a few different answers varying from Bad front tire to fork seals to wheel bearings. I was curious if anyone could help me with my problem. thank again.

Also curious to know if a 180 rear tire will fit on the stock 1996 CBR600f3 rear wheel.

I have a 180 tire on my f2, I like the look and feel.

As for the shake. Is there chain play, or is it too tight? Is this happeneing when you down shift or brake at all?

One - front wheel is probably out of balance
Two - could be a worn front tyre, or a rim which has a slight twist to it.

Most likely a balance problem...................

Make sure that your tire pressure in within an acceptable range... If it is too low then it will result in crappy handling/ a wobble at different speeds!

Possible bearings in the triple... Do you pull a lot of wheelies?
