Guys,

I was at the track a few weeks ago and got a new front tyre put on,,, about a week before this i got a new back tyre put on,,,

i noticed coming down the straight at 7,000rpm in sixth my bike starts to vibrate,,, i spoke to the guy who fitted my tyre and he said "Check that the weights didn't fall off" they were still their,,, he then said that because I got a tyre which is lighter and different to the last one i had on it,,,I should soften my suspension,,,

I reckon its more of a balance problem,,, maybe the guy who did the rear tyre didn't balance at all,,, could this be the problem????

ITs pretty F**KEN scary after 7,000rpm in sixth

is the road smooth? does it go away if you go faster? If you do the same speed does it do it in 5th?

I wish I had some good food for you on this but I'm only going to relate my similiar experience. I went from the Dunlops (stock) to Metzlers and the front end definitely feels different. I'm going to try to play with suspension set-up... If I arrive at a solution I'll let you know. I DO like the tires though.
