triple digit speeds???
 

i was wondering if anyone can help me.... anytime I reach speeds upwards of 100 mph my rooster doesn't feel stable almost kind of wobbly.anyone know what can cause this. i have a set of brand new michelin pilot tires so i'm trying to figure out what's going on

are your front forks raised in the triples?

dont know bike is supposed to be stock but now it does sit higher than all bikes i ride with

If they were raised the bike would sit lower in the front. If they have been there would be a lot of fork tube exposed above the bars.

well in that case it must not be raised for some reason it feels like its coming from the rear feels like im wiggling my ass a little bit fromside to side

Set up your suspension! Do some research and/or get help from a friend. Without suspension modification to the VTR, there's 95% chance you won't get good sag numbers. Changing springs will buy you a change in valving to get good damping. I did Gold Valves on the compression side and am about to do my own personal revalve on the rebound side.

Hey Greg,
When are you heading south again for a track day?

I'd say most likely rear wheel out of balance or bent. If you suspension is set too light for your weight it can wallow around too.

It'll be a while before I do another track day down there. There are about 4-5 tracks within 3 hours of me. No need to travel 9 hours to VIR. I'd like to try Pocono and a few of the Canadian tracks up here first.

I'm not quite sure where I remember you from. There were a couple guys I spoke with at VIR in the last couple years. Were you the guy that was really fast on stock suspension?

No that wasn't me.............were you at summit point a few weeks ago? 6/16?

I ride a gsxr 600 on th track & use the SH for commuting.........

Nope, wasn't me. You got the wrong guy.

Hey, that's what I told the cops the other day!!! :)

a new track 45 minutes southwest of Ottawa. not far from New York.
It is supposed to be paved this summer.

THAT'S THE ONE I'M WAITING FOR!!! I visited their site several weeks ago. No new news of progress though. I like new tracks. I was one of the first to ride BeaveRun several years ago. NESBA track day was about 2 weeks after they opened. The runoff was mud and the "facilities" and office were out of a 14x60 single wide trailer! That's a fun little track though. Need to go back soon.

Have your steering head bearings checked to make sure they are good and set properly. If you are a new rider you may be inducing a wobble by hanging on to the bars too tight at high speeds. If you tense up and hang on real tight that can cause a wobble. And check rear wheel alignment.
