    Steering Wobble

    As mentioned in previous replies quality tires are a difference maker. However also mentioned previously check YouTube, Sean Morleys bounce test. Low speed wobble this is the first thing I would check, it’s easy and doesn’t cost anything. Had the exact same issue at very close to the same miles...

    Death wobble

    In my experience with my 06 a new front tire with a worn rear tire is asking for trouble. Even with everything in spec the more pointed peak of the new front with the rounded off peak on the worn rear will definitely cause issues at speed I added progressive suspension front and rear. Added...

    Need Advice!! Best Tires For a 99??

    Obviously radials are the way to go to get the best possible handling, if your ready for the additional cost of upgraded wheels and the radial tires are more expensive then bias. If your not ready there are some other upgrades (suspension, frame braces, mounts) that are easier to afford one at...

    Hello, Wire from tach to fuel pump relay checks ok. I just swapped igniters and no improvement. I’m missing something. starting over.There’s a few black wires going into the harness. Could you tell me exactly where the black (ground) wire goes from fuel pump relay?

    Turns over but no start

    I haven't pulled the fuel line but when I apply power directly to pump it works and sends fuel to carbs. The bike will start right up and run for a few seconds until that fuel is gone. It's been parked since December, ran fine when parked. After the winter nap I change the fuel filter and do...

    Yes got spark. It starts right up when i apply power directly to pump. Something is not allowing the fuel pump relay to send power to the fuel pump.

    Well I don't know about a prize but I'll gladly buy you a beer. My original post was a little lengthy and maybe not expressed right but yes I've checked all these things. The fuel pump/filter is good The fuel pump relay is good When I apply power direct to fuel pump it pumps and the bike will...

    Turns over but no start

    Hello, I got an 06 Max. Love it! Had a similar issue last year after sitting through the worse part of winter. After tapping on the fuel pump relay and checking all connections and talking with Sean thought maybe it was a bad relay. I tapped on fuel pump relay one more time and bike started...

    Tread direction

    Thank you for the feedback. I did some more research and found that the tread should run opposite front to back. Due to the forces of braking that’s why the front tread runs opposite of the rear. I did want to emphasize my concern with the shinko tires. The picture shows two front tires (exact...

    Tread direction

    I got a question regarding tread direction. I’m on my 3rd set of shinco tires. They are good tires for a short time, they do not last long. That being said my recent set the tread on the front is going the opposite direction as the previous front tire. The last set has both the front and rear...

    Thank you for the advice. I went with the progressive fork springs and progressive 444 rear shocks. Made a very noticeable difference. Going to be stiffening things up next round of upgrades

    Thank you again, I totally understand what your saying about mileage and handling. Handling is more important. I do like the corners and occasionally I do like to rip through the corners. I don't do any heavy burnouts. The trips its not only the distance, its more weight. Riding two up and a...

    Thank you very much, great info. Your pretty spot on about the homer simpson thing too. Definitely going with the racetech springs. Was not familiar with the wave washer stacks, I'll be looking into that later today. I want to upgrade the suspension as best I can on current budget. My next...
