TIRE PRESSURE
NOTICED A HIGH SPEED WOBBLE AT AROUND 85 T0 90 THE LAST RIDE. CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE ,WAS DOWN TO 26 HAD SET IT AT 36 A WHILE BACK.BIKE RODE AND HANDLED EXCELLENT EXCEPT FOR WOBBLE.RE SET PRESSURE AT 38 ,WOBBLE WAS GONE AT 100 AND BEYOND BUT SURFACE WALK WAS BAD AT LOW SPEED.ENDED UP BACK DOWN AT 30 VIRTUALY NO ROAD WALK AND STILL NO WOBBLE . AM RUNNING GOODYEAR TRIPPLE TREAD 205-60-16 ON THE 05 NOMAD .HAVE REMOVED REAR SEAT SISSY BAR AND REAR FLOOR BOARDS. SADDLE BAGS ARE FULL AND I WEIGH AROUND 160. SEEMS EVERY THING I READ ENDS UP AT DIFFERENT PRESSURES TO WORK KINKS OUT. I DON'T SEE ANY FORMULA FORMING. ANY THOUGHTS? LARRY S.

Re: TIRE PRESSURE
NO FORMULA , just each person has to find there own sweet spot and stick with it .
I check my tire pressure every week , just because i am riding a wide tire on a narrow rim and the slow turn creep gets bad at low tire pressure (less then 30psi).
