And, it could be Scramblers don't like Pirelli Sport Demons. Or, Sport Demons don't like Scramblers. Or, that Scramblers are more picky than Bonnies or Thruxs about the rubber they bring home.
Are you trying to say that the Scrambler is so completely different of a ike from the Thrux and Bonnie that the TIRES you put on it will cause it to headshake? BRAHAHAHAHAH!! you guys crack me up.

Has anyone put on purely street tires like the bonne, etc and see how'd they'd work on the scrambler provided you have no plans to go off road?

Provided the suspension is set up right you'd think it might handle and ride even better

Maybe your headshake is caused by the loose nut behind the handlebars?
Or the loose nut in front of the computer :hammer:

Might check total tire height of the tires you have now vs what came stock. You may need to adjust the ride height if there's a big difference. Or, maybe a simple static sag adjustment will do.

I will be doing just that sometime soon; probably go with the Metzlers that are stock on the Bonnevilles.

I put Michelin Anakees on my scrambler. Incredible difference. I was torn between Anakees and Tourance. Flipped the coin and went with the Michelins.

So can you use tubeless tires on the scrambler rims, or do you have to run tubes regardless?
