Bouncy front end

[Baldielox]

I had a semi-long ride today and noticed that the front end seems to feel bouncy at around 50-55 mph. I've never felt that on a bike before, and I've had several over the years. Is that a tire balance issue? I'm not sure what to make of it.

If it does it on all types of road surfaces at 50 to 55mph sounds like a balance problem. Jake at Low-down Chop sells Dyna Beads and everyone who uses them swears by them. He's also a site sponser.

Walk your bike backwards it the belt making noise?
Check your rear tire alignment mine did it when I chenged out my rear tire. Pushed it forward over the wet road to make sure the alignment was true

Baldielox- did you ever cure the bouncing problem? I have the same prob, just put a new tire on too.

When you say bounce. What exactly do you mean? And at what speed? I have a high speed woble. Mine happens at about 100 to 110 mph. Kind of bums me out. I would like to know what the bike will do but I cant gfet past the woble. I am needing a new tire too. I guess I will try that first.

I have that same high speed woble really sucks. I put in the Dyna Beads, and it still happens.
