Just checking to see if anyone is having the same issue with the front tire and wheel. Since I picked up the Scrambler, the front tire has seemed out of balance. I got it home and checked to see if I lost a weight but both were still there. I than checked the pressure and it was a little low so I got it back to 30 lbs and still getting the wobble and slight bump. I had the bike in today for its first service and the tech agreed with me that there was something there, but just thought I should exceed the 30 lbs. and see what that does. I put more air in it and had a few Troegs Pale Ales so I did not take it out tonight to see what or if it made a differance. Please let me know if anyone else has this problem. Other than that, I just love this bike. My ZRX 1200 (Eddie Lawson Repl) has just been sitting in the garage since the Scrambler came home. I ordered the bike back in October and it was so worth the wait. Mushman Lives!

Hi, a new bike should not have a wobbly front wheel so you should get it back to the dealer. does the Scrambler have a centre stand ?? or can you get the front wheel off the ground ( NO i don`t mean can you wheelie it :razz: ) so you can spin it and see if its a tyre bulge !! or it may just be the nobbly tread.

Hi K.K.,

Thanks for the reply. I actually just got the center stand installed today (225.00 YUCK!) and did exactly what you said. I did not see a tire bulge. In all my years of dirt bike and mountain bike ( I miss Schwinn ) I knew to check for that seeing that these have tubes in them. My buddy has a KTM Adventure and he said also about it just being a knobby tire. Anyways, I am going see see hopefully on Friday when I ride it to work to see if the tire pressures did anything. If it didn't, I will call my dealer.

Thanks,

Ben

1. The tire may be at fault, but it is NOT because of the type of tire. Dirt bike tires are much more agressive than the scrambler tires and they don't wobble.
2. I would insist that the dealer fix the problem. If balancing the tire doesn't fix the problem, then the tire should be replaced. If a new tire doesn't fix the problem, then the whole wheel/hub assy should be replaced.
3. Front tires are kinda important on a motorcycle, so I would not be too patient with those that should be fixing the problem.
