Hi ,i just bought my first 2002 5001 a week ago on friday, may 17. i let my eldest daughter drive it and i notice the left front tire wobbled[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] i check the rim and it is okay. the tire is worped. so i put 30lbs of air in it. jacked it of the ground i going to leave it like that for about a day without riding it than put the air presure back down to 4.5lbs. oh i have only 37 miles on it. it also bogs in second gear (high) when i going up hill with a foot of wet snow. my buddy 2001 500act did it 3 high ( weights 40lbs less tan me) will it run better and not bog when it is broken in ? yes they are dunlop tires.

 

What reason would you air up a tire to 6 times what it is rated for? That is just asking for trouble. Call your dealer and see what they will do first.

 

the side of the tire says 36psi max so i though i was safe at 30psi

 

that bogging problem might just be because it isn't broken in. Cats are pretty tight when they are new. I would wait till you have about 150 200 miles and then see if there is a problem. Or if you think that the bogging is really out of the ordinary then check with the dealer.

Congrates on the cat none the less!!!
