Wobble on deceleration

Hmm my Gixxer did this on 010's as well. Loz tried it too but we
couldn't see any obvious cause. On the 014's it seems stable.

Easy fix.

Don't slow down, never slow down.

In your case Paul, it's more likely delirium tremors.

Tremens, Shirley.

 

They all do that sir. My front wheel on the BB wobbled on deeleration
when you let go of the bars. And I had the specific Avon B rated A45/46
combo for the Blackbird designed for the weight. If you go for 020s
next time, make sure they're the ones rated for the BB as they are
different to the normal 020. Apparently.

Or just get a lighter bike ;-)

Don't start.

Besides seen it described using both terms. Being an
amateur (albeit an enthusiastic one where DTs are
concerned) I'm prepared to accept/use either.

Was a bit concerned that there was problems with the bike, but it turns
out that the man from Bridgestone he say BT010 isn't up to the job.
Can't handle the weight apparently. Ah well. Next week's 4,400km round
trip will see the tyres off anyway.

Interestingly my GSXR is the first bike I've had that's worn out the
side/shoulders of the front tyre before the centre. Quite
considerably so.

Explains why the front doesn't feel good under cornering with it.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Pip amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

Or eat less pies.

 

So under braking the front isn't doing much work? interesting theory.

Better contact the news services - looks like I'm about to agree with
Rope - not on the "why" part, but it's certainly been my experience
that the shoulders of the front tyre wear out first.

 

They sure do on my FJ1100. The sides are always well mullered before the
centre gets near the legal limit. Bloody heavy old beast though.

and in a rather strange pattern on some of these sticky sprot tyres.
Kinda chamfered at the tread cuts.

'Hog

 

Well yeah. But I mean really worn. Centre and right at the edge is
still really deep tread and yet in between the two is almost bald.

You don't run Dunlops do you?

Be interesting to see how you find these new 014's

'Hog

 

'Hog says...

Better than 010s?

They won't make any difference, I ride like a wuss nowadays.

 

BT010s on this.

The front doesn't suit the bike at all. 011s are the recommended
fitment and I'll be giving 014s a bash next.
