Good morning All, 2022 Road Glide Special with approx. 8000 miles.
I am feeling a vibration through the handlebars when leaning right or left.
It's been doing it on and off but lately getting worse. After long rides I feel around the front wheel bearing and all is cool to the touch.
Any Ideas are welcomed.
TIA

 

Cupped front tire, maybe.

 

Yup

 

I have an Elite on the front and get wierd vibrations as it’s wearing and it’s not cupping. I have an RGS, 2020.

FWIW, day one, I think it’s cool, but there’s a sound from the fairing in turns, I presume from the vents.

Back to tire, I just chalk it up to tire wearing…I expect to get new tires next month so I will know if it’s just tire wearing.

GL in whatever you do/find.

 

My 2020 RG, bought with about 9800 miles on it, had a new rear tire and original front tire. After riding it for 2 weeks it vibrated through the handlebars on every left or tight turn. I brought it back to the dealer and they changed the front tire with factory OEM Dunlop (same tire as rear). Well, a few months and a couple thousand miles later the vibration is back. So, tire is wearing just fine, it really shows no wear at all. Inflation is set at spec (36psi cold). I feel (not just hear, but feel it in the bars) whether two up or riding solo. I chalk it up to the construction of the tire.

When the tires wear out I'll try Dunlop's own model for our bikes.

 

Tires - especially on a motorcycle - have a tremendous impact on vibration and handling. I couldn’t believe the difference in my 07 Ultra after putting new rubber on. It was night and day.

 

Thanks All.
This is my 3rd touring model and the first time this has happened, weird!
