    Anyone from eastern mass....

    that can help me out by telling me if my tires got mounted strait?

    New tires on it seem to "wobble" at 60+, havent even tried going fast on them yet. Maybe im just not used to new tires? My old ones were kinda flattened out, just feele like the bikes running a llliitttlleee bit crooked, somene please tell me its just my imagination

    Check the directional of the tire wall. Dunlop tire has directional arrow not sure about other brands.

    K I'm back.

    The wobble is after 50+, if i let off the throtte, the back wiggles, in even increments.

    It's also right after i corner, or swerve, i was swervein on purpse for the last mile to my house.

    Swerve wiggle wiggle wiggle, rinse repeat. I'm, gonna take it to the guy at all seasons a little later today, he'll probably be able to tell me for free, or maybe $10 or sumthing. But if it isnt strait i got a guy who knows what hes doing saying it isn't, and whats wrong, so i can go back with confidence in whats wrong.

    If i just go there and tellem "It's not feeling right" they'll tell me to go fuck myself most likely. Plus they scratched my rims! WTF!

    ohoh i forgot to mention that the little whisker things are only worn off on the right side and the FAR left side, the left/middle nubs are ALL still there. That means im in a constant lean to the right, no? It's gotta be crooked, bah!

    edit: Both directions are facing the right way, maybe they didnt balance the tire? I really gotta learn to do this shit myself...

    Possible causes:

    -They didn't balance 'em correctly

    -They put a wheel spacer in the wrong location

    -They didn't align the rear tire properly when re-installing it

    -Defective (out of round) tire

    If they did the original mount/balance, they sure as hell shouldn't charge you for taking a look at it...

    Get the headlight bulb from an auto parts store. About half the price, at least...
