feels little squirrely when hiting gas on curves put a few more pounds air today but still am happy with tire..i hear people complain and have changed fork bearings cause they are cheap honda parts but i have 76,000 on bike and have only change battery tires and oil .i havent had any wobble other than a front tire that was going bad..i balance my tires by putting on the shaft and find the heavy side then add weight to opposit side and have had good luck. ride it like u stole it

Careful when adding higher pressure as it usually makes uneven surfaces real noticable.

Wow.. our tires look almost identical... I started at 40 psi. and rode it that way for 500 or so miles. Then started dropping pressure. Feels good at 36 psi. Try cranking your springs up a click or two and see what that does for you. Oh yeah, welcome to the darkside!!
