Death Wobble

[Mojo]

My bike recently started the dreaded wobble just out of the blue. Went on line and Googled it. One of the primary causes was tire pressure. Sure enough I checked mine and it was 33 lbs. I just topped them off back in August. I put the front at 42lb and the back at 40lb. Problem solved. With air temps changing, check yours soon !

The 2016 manual calls for 36/40 psi with stock 19/16 in wheels. That's what I run my tire pressures at.

Mojo just curious, why do you run such hi pressure in the front tire?

Timely advice for everyone who topped off their tire pressure on a hot 90 degree day this summer. For those of us up north the psi will drop a little in cooler weather.

I've always run a couple more lbs than recommended due to +/- error in air gauges. Rather be a bit hi than a bit low.

I use a Griot's garage tire inflating gun. I don't remember where I saw it a few years ago that the accuracy was very good when tested against an analog master gauge.
