It could well be related to the larger rear tyre...Bayford89IOW wrote:I've got 170/60/17 and i dont notice any problems backend wise (its been on the bike since ive owned it (Battlax). On another note i get wheel wobble at high speed on the front tyre? any ideas anybody?
Just out of interest, can you get your knees/pegs down? When I've had a bike with a wider rear tyre the bugger just wouldn't turn whatever I did with the suspension or myself! Going to a 170 shouldn't make a massive difference, though.

Hmm could be. When it goes bald i'll get a size down. And as of yet no i havent been able to get my knees down, although where i live the roads are like fucking mountain paths and there isnt a long enough corner for me to get that far over.
