sleeper06 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 This is the first time I have ever experienced this with american racers, I know the tires are growing but how do I fix it? It was smooth from launch thru 4th then just about to click 5th started to death wobble. Im thinking of high speed balancing or more air. Tires are ar 20.5/10/10 . This was with 7psi and no clutch tune yet it was maidin voyage. It spun tires for about 15ft. As it is . I can get the clutch to handle that but the wobble is terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowerThanYou Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 We bubble balance ours, most take a lot of weight to get them balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedder Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 We bubble balance ours, most take a lot of weight to get them balanced. Yep, American Racers are usually way out of balance. Bubble balance using stick on weights and they'll be smooth as silk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I guess ive been lucky all these years thnks guys, this is a customers bike first real ride, everything was flawless didnt even have to change a jet ran perfect. I gotta do a lil clutch tuning to make it more user friendly and I might have to put a steering stabilizer in it for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
