Asking all the experts on here, I know we have many,
I recently had my tires changed and I am now experiencing some slight vibration from the front (wheel?) at low speed when coming to a stop. (approx 30-40 km/h, may have noticed it around 60km/h a couple of times)
As I pull the clutch in and while coasting in neutral (gear position in NOT in N but the clutch pulled in) and coming to a stop sign or just slowing down, I feel a slight vibration from the front. It is not uncontrollable or or rigorous but it wasn't not there before prior to the tire change.
New tires are Shinko 705 (manufacturer date is week 43 of 2023) and and they were installed and balanced at a garage off the bike. I installed the wheels back on the bike myself.
While the wheels were off, I took the opportunity to clean/lubricate all all brake components and grease axle/bearings. Everything was torqued to specs as per manual. Possible even a hair over torque spec. Buy a hair I mean like 1/8 of a turn.
I have had the front wheel off last season for checking for balance as well. Same garage checked for balance and I also installed it myself. I am not a certified mechanic but I am quite confident the wheel is installed correctly. I didn't have this vibration issue with the previous tires after reinstalling the wheel.
Bike is 2020 VStrom Dl1050
Let's hear the opinions.
