RE: Highway Speed
Guys, he said 10psi below factory. Chill. Find an experinced rider who rides AT factory pressures???? Most tires should be in the low to mid 30s anyway.
As far as the wobble, based solely on his description, I'm thinking new bike/rider jitters or poor road surface. No shake at 60 then shake at 70....suspicous. I have a road near me that I thought was billiard smooth until I rode my bike on it. I pulled over about 3 times and checked the bike until I discovered that it was the road surface.

RE: Highway Speed
Even though the tires are under factory spec they feel hard so i was kinda afraid of adding more pressure if i didn't need to. And today i was on a different highway and i was up to 80 for about 10 sec. and it felt fine. This was on a paved black top road not concrete. So could it have been from the rain grooves in the concrete.

You're saying riding around on tires inflated to 26 and 32 is gonna be good? That experienced bikers ride around on pressures like that? At 100mph plus? Really?
