Question Wabble

I've got a wabble, I thaught it might be the rear tire. So I replaced both front and rear tires (it was time anyway) alligned everything with precision tools so it's within thousandths of an inch, I have a rear stablizer, I checked engine mounts,all bushings in the swingarm and I still have the wabble at about 60 mph and up. Any suggestions

Also check tire and shock pressures.

The "a" and the "o" are on opposite ends of the keyboard, and to do it twice.
He's messing with us and I like it.

I get the same problem. Talking to the "experts" it either a) me b) wind buffeting the wind scereen c) the rider d) it doesn't exsist when our mechanic rides it.

Other solutuions are, put more air in the rear shocks, put less air in the shock and one I haven't tried because it'll cost me $200 us to put SE Heavy Fork oil in.

I am both glad and sorry to hear another rider with the same problem. I hope you find a solution. When you do let me know.

Kevin
