the wife has a 96 magnum 425, we put new wings on the bike, but this thing is squirrly after 35 mph, she has to ride it in 4 wheel if she wants to go past that, Yes I traded with her and that thing sucks, does anyone know what I can do? thanks

Sounds like it's getting ready to take off. Sorry, couldn't help myself on that one. What exactly are wings?
What air pressure are you running?

i guess im w/ everyone esle trying figure what are wigs? tires maybe. air pressure and weight distabushion has alot to do w/how its handling. make sure the tires arent ready to fall off or anything.

My 425 Magnum has always been squirrelly at high speed. It was that way on my old tires and it was that way on my new tires. Once you hit 30 or 40 it just gets really unstable and the handling just doesn't inspire confidence.
