Im still relatively new to riding on the road and theres something thats been bothering me.

Traveling home last night in the early hours of the morning, wet roads but no rain at around 80-90mph. When going round some long gentle bends the bike felt like it was wobbling. Not the kind of wobbling that would suggest somethings unbalanced but like when you see tank slapping vids but alot subtler. Backing off the throttle stopped it.

My cornering speeds remained constant and this was after 15 minutes of city riding. I dont know if tyres keep their heat in cold, wet Scottish conditions but they felt warmish when I got home. Also like to point out the roads were empty, I could see for miles and I dont do those sorts of speed usually.

Any idea's?

 

Check you tire inflation. An underinflated front tire can cause the wobbling. Also verify the condition of your steering head bearings for wear and tightness.

 

i would def check inflation... also check the tire size and see if it is the proper size for the rim. I know that improper tire sizes can cause wobbling and shaking in the wind at high speeds. Did you go 1size up on ur tire size?

 

+1 on inflation, underinflated front tire will make the bike feel very unstable in the corners....peeece
