  1. 5 minutes in you'll know where it feels like your "hurting it". don't go above that, and vary your rpm alot.

     

    my bike is almost all out of "hurtieness" :whistle:

     

    oh, and check your idle when you pick it up. they seem to set em up WAY lean out of the box.

  2. thanks for the input guys, tomorrow i start the sus tweaking, and yes, i'll put a new front on the list before any trips.

     

    i am kind of a spunky rider, so i've probobly punished the front's belts a bit.

     

    how did someone put it...oh yeah, "torque junkie" i believe was the term.

  3. yeah, i've recently noticed a slight wobble if i shut the throttle around 30 or 40 mph. it started after we put the hepco becker rig on my sport.

     

    i mentioned it on the other guzzi forum and got:

     

    1. tire pressure.

     

    2. tire cupping

     

    3. bad fork bearings

     

    the wobble does not happen at high speeds. i have over 9000 miles on my front tire. it's a bridgestone, how long should i expect it to last?

     

    i really REALLY hope it's not the bearings. if there's a little tugging and pushing on the bike on a tire-clamp lift to get the hb on, would that generate enough force to mess something up in the front end?

     

    i'm waiting to get it into the shop before i start tinkering with it. i figure i'll just leave all the evidence and let the pros trouble-shoot it out.
