BIKE WOBBLE when cornering at High Speed - HELP

Hi People

Look for some advice on my 2001 model TL1000s.

When cornering and accelerating around a long sweeping bend at 80-100mph, the whole bike suddenly starts to wobble between your legs. If you back off, the wobbling goes but it's really un-nerving.

Can anyone help or give me some advice on the cause which I know could be suspension or tyres... Any suggestions would be grateful.
Rob

First thing to try is swap tires. If it's only on corners and not on straights the tire contact patch is the only thing that's really changing. Might also try increasing rear rebound damping and see if any change. Chances are you're going to have to get to the track to get enough cornering time to diagnose the problem.

What did you have before the TL dude? I went from a Yamaha R to a TLR and the FIRST thing I noticed was the bitch felt hinged in the middle on big corners... but she didn't really do anything outside of move a little... its the bike dude. Love it, or go buy a shock... or better yet, trade up for an R1. (NT) -- ~ Prozac ~, 15:08:08 07/20/04 Tue
- Re: Get rid of stock steering damper- our bike does have deficits as yellow man points out. Scotts or Ohlins make for less head shake. (NT) -- AKTLR, 04:44:04 07/22/04 Thu

Is this the same Prozac? Dudes got Wimpy since he bought the R1., Or has he finally grown up? -- Mike, 20:46:21 08/08/04 Sun
