Ive just fitted my 3rd set of tyres on my KLE.

I think the bike came out with dunlops, not sure, neither can i remember.

Then i fitted Sirac's, On any speed above 100km/h i would get a wabble. and if i dont slag down, it feels like im going to fall. This lasted for about 3000km. Then it stopped, the bike was stable, i could go up to 150 without a wabble.

Now i fitted a set of anakee's. And again, at 110km/h i get a wabble, if i go up to 140km/h, it wabbles HEAVILY.

Is it my bike? Is it the tyres, or just me?

The tyres are balanced. I grip the tank with my knees, etc (ive tried everything)

I spoke to JohnST, he also has anakees and a 2005 KLE, he doesnt have a wabble at speed.

Yes, we have a weight diff of 25kg. But this wont be the reason for the wabble.

What else??? Im really annoyed. If road bias tyres dont help, how the fruit will i be able to fit knobblies?
