  1. To all that have provided feedback, I appreciate your input. Just wanted to provide update. I installed a new tires on my bike and I can say that wobble is gone. I took it for a test ride ( first 50 miles easy I know) and I noticed no noticeable wobble. I mean I do get some passing big trucks but that is understandable.
  2. Thank you all for your input. So far I checked the alignment, no play in head bearing or front wheel bearing. I tried removing removing hand guards and both position of windscreen. I think I dialed in my suspension as good as I can. I can cruze on highway till 80 mph. From all you input it really comes down to tires. I understand they are 70/30 and front one I originalnsize but the back one is thicker ( not original). They are pretty new but I can only ask for so much from them. I do have extra rear tire and I checked manufacturing date and it is not original. (manufactured in 2018) has plenty of thread left. Fron one is shot so I will get new tire up front. I also think that it has to do with less then perfect front suspension but I will update thread once I put new tires on. Again thank you all for the info. You guys are awesome. Glad I joined this forum.
  3. Thanks for info. I'll definitely do the check for head bearing. You are not the first that pointed to tires. I think that might be my next thing to do.Today people suggested alignment check with string method and I did that. It looked good.
  4. Yea I was also hoping this to help out. I didn't remove the guards all the way. I just took out bulky fearing by removing 2 front bolts. I still have the thin part. Looks weird with no ends or metal piece by itself on the end.
  5. Bwringer. Thank you for your input. At this point I tried everything else. As it goes for head bearing service was performed at the dealer( that is not guarantee it was fixed correctly). Tires are pretty new but I get your point of not being correct tire for the bike. I will have to go route of getting new Tires and see if that fixes it.
  6. Knyte in which respect front fork? Do you mean adjustment? I get rear alignment. That will be next thing I guess.
  7. I actually removed them. I live in Texas and I don't mind wind on my hands because hot here all the time. Could it be Shenko tires? I have E-705 which is 70/30 tire which came with bike. I still have stock tires. I don't think it has to do with balancing because there is no shake or vibration.
  8. Bike has little over 8000 miles. Has a 80on/20off road tires.
  9. New to forum. I need some feedback from you guys. I have a high speed wobble and I tried everything. Majority of the people say not enough weight up front or suspension is not set up correctly. I did set up front and rear suspension for my weight and I did play with settings quite a bit. I managed to get it somewhat dialed in by trial and error. While on highway I did oposite of what people said and I shifted the weight back which seamed to help. While before I was not able to go above 85 I managed to get it up to 105. I still do feel wobble from time to time and I was wondering what helped other people solve this issue. By the way bike is 2015 with 8000 miles. Any input is appreciated.
