Just wondering if anyone else experiences the front end wobbling about when running Tkc80's over 70+mph?
I have just had some fitted and thought it would stop after they were worn in.
Thanks,

Adam

Now and then I get a very minor wobble, nothing really to get concerned about.

I take it your pressures are fine?

No TKCs here, but E-09s do the same above about 80mph. Playing around with pressures does help.

Doesn't worry me much because it never feels like it's likely to develop into anything uncontrollable.

Never had any really bad wobbles worth writing about. Little shimmys if the surface is bad or uneven, but the bike does that no matter what tyres are on there it seems. I've tried to provoke bigger wobbles but the bike settles down quickly. Front pressure seems to be the main culprit.

That's like... MORE than the speed limit?! OH MY GOD!!

I'm sure he means 'displayed' speed, wich is around 10% out, so still within the 'allowance' most Police forces have

I would get them to check the balance again as well.. I've had Dunlop D606's up way higher than 80mph with no wobbles.. and TKC's too..

but a badly balanced tyre will shake it's head the faster you go..

Insert any of the following here:

"on private roads under controlled conditions"
"on my recent trip to Germany/The Isle of Man"
"kph"
"in my mind"

I don't know about anyone else, but I rag the preverbial tits off both my bikes.... Everywhere, all of the time. OMG! Irresponsible is my middle name, I love doing wheelies too.... And I used to be called ghost rider.

Ok so the last bit isn't true! The point is who cares... Freedom of choice and all that... And now I've hijacked the thread! Doh!

So speed wobble on tkc 80s..... Mmmmmm they shouldn't do that should they, wherever you're speeding?!!!!

Yes I have. It's a bit scary in the beginning, but it never got out of control, and you'll get used to it. But I found its straight line stability (also in the dirt) less then my current choice of tires: Metzeler Enduro 3
