So here it goes. I ride a 2008 Fz6 with a little over 9k miles.
I just recently changed the front tire to a Michelin Pilot Road 4 to match the rear.
I had the tire removed, and rebalanced already, then everything else looked over after experiencing an aggressive up and down vibration when hitting speeds from 100-110. (on smooth roads with no wind)
This problem only occurs when reaching such speeds, and has nothing to do with the engine revs.
There are no obvious causes to this problem that the dealer, or the tech who installed the tire could tell without taking a wrench to it.
Tire pressure is normal,
tire is not defected,
the front forks do not appear defective,
the steering bearings are fine, and nothing on the front end seems to be warped.
Is it possible the tire needs to be balanced by a "high speed balancer" like they use at race tracks? Dynabeads, or weights? I am unable to find much info from any previous forum posts, though there seem to be those who have experienced similar issues.
