I think sometimes that the wobble comes from the front fender catching too much air. Rob

The other day I was rolling along on the KLR in the upper speed range. The bike started a fairly strong weave when I got it up to about 95 mph on the speedo. I could have played with weight distribution and throttle and probably gotten it into a real high speed wobble and tank-slapper, that's the direction it wanted to go. I didn't want to go there, so I gently adjusted my riding position and eased back on the throttle to stabilize. I am wondering.....since I've been using the marks on the swingarm for wheel alignment, and I know there are less lazy and mo betta ways to align the wheels, might that be the usual or typical cause of such a wobble? My bike has never done that befo, and I just put a new rear tire (CS 6006) on recently and used the marks to align the axle. Or, I wonder if it was just road grooves or something.

Speaking of a blower, I was talking to this friend of mine the otehr day and he was telling me about his father-in-law who is sick in the head, He has a little red wagon with a 600cc engine in it, wow, can you imagine stearing that thing? LoL what a nut.. OK on to other things, I was pulled over this a.m. on my way to work by one of californias finest, CHP. Yippie, Well he was a real di@& and was giving me a hard time, which i probably deserved. He asked how many cars i passed in the last mile? I said 4 or 5 . He said what do i have dumb written on my forehead, try 40-50, you know in between those two double yellow lines isn't your own personel lane, and crossing the double yellow is a 271$ fine. I started asking him motorcycle questions (he was on his CHP BMW) and he let me go with a warning. I am soooo lucky Dale 00 KLR with 9400 miles
