Default Factory Set Up

How does everyone feel about it. Air shock psi. Tire pressure. Today I took my first good ride (350miles)since I got it Labor Day. At 70 mph. the front wheel vibed/wobbled and the rear was a little sluggish. I guess my question is what are your tire pressures F/R and if you have the air shocks, how many pounds are you putting in them. Or, is what I am feeling normal.

Front wheel vibrating and wobbling is not normal. Front wheel could be out of balance. I would pull it off and have it double checked.

Ok, I guess that's a answer. I was just wondering how other 07 Road King Classic riders felt about it. Is the bible always the answer. Number Please.

Minimum air pressure for tires should be 36 PSI I run 15 PSI in my rear shocks on both the SG and EGCU.

Front is 31 psi. and Rear is 36. Air shock is at 10 psi. All factory/dealer set. That's why I was asking the question. I think maybe a change to the psi's may help. We will see.
