Have you checked your steering head bearings?

If they are to tight or the bearings are damaged it will weave as the speed increases.

If they are adjusted correctly & the bearings are ok. Try droping the forks through the bridges by 10mm.

I usually ride with tire pressure between 30 - 32 psi in Metzeler Tourance, do you think 28 psi front will help? Should I keep the rear pressure higher (let�s say 28 front, 30 rear) or 28 psi at both ends?
Thanks.

PS: BTW, I also have to try with different windshields since I think (�not so sure) that with my old Kappa shield she was more stable that with the Yamaha large screen. I�ll let you know.

Ello!

So what was wrong? You never added your solution.
I olso have XTR, but i just bought X wheels, because I only ride on road. So you recomend 25mm spacers and SAE 12,5 oil on my R forks or was that not so good for you? Anyone?

Thanx!

I still didnt find any solution to my problem. As I said, I have XTR, now Im fitting XTX wheels and I would like to make my front better. Should I use this spacers? Are they the same for XTX and XTR? Im guessing not. So what lenght spacers should I use? And fork oil? Should I change it as well?

ako ti je skupo ovo iz Australije naručiti, onda daj nekom tokaru da ti ih napravi

Hvala na savjetu :icon_thumleft:
Nisam ni mislio to iz Australije nabavljati, imam susjeda koji bi mi mogao to napraviti. Samo ne znam tačno koliko duge trebam za XTR, jer ovi ovdje su napravljeni za XTX, predpostavljam. Samo jo� trebam točne dimenzije :)
Isplati se to montirati? Ima� ti?
