Hi

I'm struggling to cure my Tigers front end wobble. This usually occurs at speeds of 140km/h and up. Conditions that worsens this phenomenon is uneven road surface and cross winds. The wobble seems to amplify if the throttle is not released.

With the factory fitted Pirelli's I did not experience this problem. I changed to EO9's which lead to a terrible wobble above 140km/h. I then moved to a less rugget tyre, the EO7's, which helped a bit but was not the answer.

I've read that the Explorers have experienced a similar issue but dont know if this compares. I have taken it to Mike Hopkins but the guys did not find any fault. While on high speed I solved the problem temporarily by moving my body to the pillion seat.

Please give me your input to help solve this problem.
