Apr 11, 2017 · I have a 2013 KLR 650 and added rear tusk panniers and now have a wobble at about 65 mph. I have the rear shock set on 5 and after a 30 min ride the back tire is nice a warm to the touch but the front is cold.

Sep 10, 2017 · If you are running that rear tire on a KLR 650 your rear end is wagging like a puppy dog and that is what is causing your front end wobble. You can manage it by driving slow, not keeping tension on the handlebars, etc, but just try a stiff wall tire and you will understand - Shinko 244 or 700, Cont TKC80 or any of the big block adventure bike ...

Sep 9, 2023 · Experimenting on the trip home here is what I found: 80-83mph slight speed wobble, starting and graduating higher, 83+ bad speed wobble, scary scary off the throttle finding a safe place to move back into traffic.

Jun 11, 2013 · No KLR has to have wobbles. Another way to get wobbles is to ride with the nose up and butt down because of an overloaded rear. Try a ride with less load and the problem may go away.

Jul 6, 2014 · First, check your tire pressure--especially your front tire. I used to get a slight wobble with Avon Gripsters when my front needed a bit of pressure. If that doesn't help, then remove the fender and take it on a test ride. If that fixes it, then buy and install the Acerbis bender. It's cheap.

Apr 11, 2009 · Just wondering what I can do about an annoying speed wobble i've been getting lately on my 06 KLR650. Seems to start anywhere above 110km/h and is very mild. It only does it riding solo, with two up I don't get it at all and it seems to fade a bit if I shift my weight towards the back of the bike.

Oct 16, 2020 · Upon getting back home I reinstalled the front wheel and went for a ride. No wobble/headshake whatsoever. It seems crazy to me that a new tire could be so warped or defective as to throw the whole front end out of whack. Anyone else seen this with the KLR, or with Shinko tires?

Oct 31, 2006 · I had my KLR up to 100 mph with no wobble. Then I put on new D606 tires and a load of camping gear and had a near-disaster tank slapper on the interstate at about 70 mph. I hit a patch of roto-milled asphalt that started a sudden wobble which grew quickly in a total loss of steering control.

Sep 11, 2020 · Of course, you should check the steering head and swing arm bearings, but I can say again from my experience with the KLR and other bikes that either an overly loose, or slightly too tight, or correctly adjusted steering head bearing does not affect a high speed weave.

Jun 2, 2006 · OK, I have an 87' KLR 650 and I noticed when I tightened the chain and got the marks off on both sides of the swingarm, the front wobbled. I lined up the marks(straightened the rear tire) and the wobble went away. I just rolled her up to 95MPH two days ago. The tire pressure could be a problem too!
