Weird Vibrations while turning on FXDB 2017
Hello,
I recently purchased my first HD, a dyna street bob of 2017 with just 3k miles. Everything was fine except that after 25 miles I started to notice weird vibrations that occurred every time I turned at above 30mph. The motorcycle was checked for front wheel balance, pressure, steering, tightness by a HD workshop. To what Ive been told, the front wheel was rebalanced and the steering was greased. This fix solely resolved the problem for 15 miles and unfortunately, the HD workshop told me that they dont know what could do that vibration. They consider that everything is fine and I have to get used to this vibration... lol.
Do you have any guess on how to resolve the issue? Do you think I should ask them to check the rear tire for balance ?
Many thanks !

And how did you resolve it? You installed new tire?
Regarding the tire pressure, that's a good question, I have no idea! It was checked at the workshop since it is still under warranty, I did not do it by myself...

Using your owner manual inflate your tires to HD specs, then ride. It's also possible the PO drive mostly straight roads with minimum twisties to wear the outside edges. when leaning into the turn with my Road Glide the tires hum.

I highly recommend looking at a 21" front rim with a 120mm 70 21" tire. Mine handles much better and feels much safer over road cancer.
