Hi
I have started to us my topcase and noticed a ' wobbly-ness' (excuse my english) from 80Km/h upwards. I have checked the tire pressure (2.5 and 2.9 according to specs)

Any suggestions from you would be appreciated
thanx and greetz from the Netherlands

doesnt sound right!

My Tiger does exactly the same when the top box is on.
My Trophy 1200 did the same also.
I think it is caused by air turbulence between the rider and the top box as it is not apparent when I have a passenger on the back seat.

I would have thought that the bike should be able to handle 50mph without a wobble with the top box

I have no problems with (givi) top-box at any speed (well, up to 400mph

).

I don't notice any problems with stability with the topbox on, except at high speeds. Are you riding through gale-force winds? If not, I would suggest it could be something else. Easiest way to find out, is remove the top box, and see what happens.

Thanks Guys -> no gale force!
Did just that - without the topbox - and noticed - if less then with the topbox - the same "wobbliness". I checked the pressure again and no problem there (2.5 and 2.9).
Any suggestions ; e.g. a tire allignment (sorry my english is a bit rusty! :clown: )

could be wheel alignment or even the tyres very badly worn.

Maybe you're on to something
The wheels are just fine but alignment could be off
Any way to check???
