Default 07 RG WOBBLES

Has anyone had any luck getting rid of the high speed wobble on this bike?

what speed range are you talking. Yellow Power Ranger speeds or 75-85 mph? Off the top of my head I would say check you tire air pressures. I don't have any wobbles except in the 325-350 mph range.

I haven't experienced any wobbles on mine. How high of a speed are you talking about? I ran pretty much all day between 75 - 85mph on my way home from Hollister in July and never felt even a bobble. Have you checked your tire pressure and tire condition, shocks have some air in them, everything tight like it should be?

No Wobbles here either. I cruise consistanly between 65-80 on the highway here in Chicago (crappiest raods in the world) and havent had any experience like that.

No wobbles here either. Mine is an '05 RG with factory spoke wheels. Sounds to me like air pressure or spoke wheel (if you have them) issue.

Pittguy has posted a nice list of potential causes.....

I've had 2 RG's (02 & 05) and have close to 70k miles on them combines and never had any "wobble issues..... There are plenty of times they've run over 100mph... no issues....
