Wobble at high speeds??? Empty Wobble at high speeds???

Post  scvmc578 Sat Feb 25, 2012 8:59 pm

Been riding DS for six months no problem. Was riding with a group today and we got split up approaching the interstate. Once on the interstate I played "catch up" at speeds of 90-100 and experienced some horrible wobble. Only had problems that brief period. The rest of the ride cruised 80 with no problems...so freak thing with high speed combined with crosswinds and wind off other vehicles? Or do I need to look for mechanical problems such as losing a weight or worn axle?

Wow, this is a little late, but I had that problem.

I saw a lot of folks stating they ran 38psi or so in their darkside tire, so I tried it. Almost got me killed first time I broke 80 mph.

Pumped the tire up to 48-50 psi (max on tire is 52) and it's fine. I've run 100+ before with no problems.
