Tires and front end vibration
Hey guys
new to this ,got alot of info before I bought my 650 form these forums so thanks for the help.
Having fornt end shakes and wobbles on my 650 with aftermarket tires,tried first 589 M/T's on my stock rims, then bought a set of Rad outlaws on itp dstyle wheels hoping to not have this problem because I heard that the Rads ride as well as stock. But put them on and like before get above 30 mph I get the wobbles[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] both were 26 inch and the stock are good had them up to 60mph
Thanks for your info

The oversized tires are known for being grossly out of balance. Balancing them will help, or PJ1 tire balance liquid works well too. I used PJ1 in my junk Blackwaters with good results. Most of the companys that build these tires have little experience with tire uniformity at higher speeds. I build tires for a living (Michelins) and I firmly believe that if you want a good uniform ATV tire, you need to buy from a true tire company. Bridgestone, Dunlop, Goodyear, etc. If I wanted a tire that was good at the speeds the 650 is capable of cruising at, but still had some mudding ability, I'd get the Goodyear Mudrunners.

Two things you guys need to do. Set your toe-in to 0 or 1/16 of an inch. That will cure the back-and-forth jerking motion. If your tires are out of balance, send them back and DEMAND that they give you a set that is balanced. When I put my 26" 589s on my 650, I had severe jerking through the handlebars. Took my front tires to a tire shop and they were so out of balance that the guy couldn't balance them. Got them replaced (free) and was good to go. My 650 doesn't vibrate at all now. My thanks to Nyroc for his toe-in advice!!
