It's like I'm constantly riding on a road snake. Straight line feels all wobbley. I'm about to go redial my suspension setup but it feels more like a tire out of balance or like the back tire is about to fall off so I really don't think its suspension setup. Any ideas? |

Are your tires mis-matched, or worn oddly? I would get that faintly at one particular speed on some surfaces when I was mixing brands and profiles between front and back on my Cyclone. Isolators and bearings would be my next check. |

Actually yes I still have a SpotTec on the front and a Pilot Power on the rear,But it just recently started doing it n I've had the mismatch for at least 4 months. |

It might be just wearing into a funny oscillation. If it were me, I would play with tire inflation and see if that has a pronounced effect on the situation, or seems unrelated. If it is a tire issue, inflation changes should have a dramatic impact on how it behaves. If not a tire issue, inflation changes should have a minor impact. I mix tires all the time, and it generally works fine, but a funny interaction is always a possibility. |

Mine did that when the back tire was low (plugged nail hole that wouldn't hold). Even a few psi made a big difference in handling. Be careful until you figure it out! Good luck, Bill |

How many miles on your front tire? Sounds like you need a new one? |
