Shake in my front end
Ok so I put some wheels on last year. They started out perfect. I rode from Rochester MN to Algona Ia for the ABATE rally. Not long after though I started to notice a slight shake between 40 and 55mph. Anything under seems to be fine and anything over seems fine. I have checked and all the weights look to be still on the wheel. I thought maybe I-90 might have played its magic on them. I bought the wheels from Hog Pro and they came mounted and balanced with Avon Venom tires. What would cause a shake like this?

Low tire pressure maybe?

Possible tire pressure. Could be that the fork tubes need alignment. Could also be that one of them has lesss fliud than the other. You also might need to check your steering head torque.

tire itself may be bad might be worth a call to see if they have had any other problems

I had that issue, it scalloped the tire on one side. was caused by wheel bearing

I get a front end wobble around the same speed with new tires. I just swerve and try to heat them up. After about a 100 miles the wobble is gone.

I had the same problem. It went away after putting on a new tire and replacing one of the wheel bearings. Talk about night and day...
