When riding solo bike shimmies side to side at speed, seems to lesson when I soften with the pre-load knob.
The previous owner is about 300lbs and is well over 6ft, so I think he never experienced this?
Bike 2 up and loaded is great, I am 200lbs wife is about 130lbs. Hard sides loaded and NO Top case, thinking about getting one this spring.
I think the rear tire is too big for my solo riding?
Rear is a 190/55 Front 120/70 and both are Pirelli Scorpion Sync trails,
Anyone ever tried to run a bigger front tire that fits in the fender and fork?
Might need to just change the rear tire with the right sized one, 180/55? or even a 190/50? Any tire opinions appreciated for all round performance on sizes?
 
The size shouldn't be a problem how is the tire wearing? Choppy? Tire pressure?
 
Tires look even and smooth, rear tire looks good, front is close to the wear indicators and will definitely need to be replaced before the summer.
