Slime

Went for a new set of tyres and as soon as he took the wheel off he said i know what the problem is , was an obvious one i guess but didnt come to mind because i didnt know Terry had put in in there,

So new roadtec 01 fitted and its smooth as at ALL speeds now ....

Ahh....that was fitted by the supplying dealer. Interesting effect though.

So my mechanic was right as he has found out the cause at the front tyre...
It will be nice if we could learn more about..

Interesting. I've used Slime in a couple of bikes - both front and back wheels - to cure slow punctures, and never had a problem.

It does make things easier when you finally come to take the old tyre off, though - it's a bit like having built-in tyre-fitting gel!

I’ve used and still carry a can of Tyreweld as it can be quite a wait for the recovery if I get a puncture! Might think twice about using this ‘get you home’ repair🤔

Heres a quick poor quality vid

Mt09 tracer wobble - YouTube

Back suspension is 2 from max hard
Front 3 rings showing and 6 clicks out

Tyre pressures 36/42

Alignment ok

Took guards off but still the same

It goes mental within about 3 seconds of taking hands off bars,

Tried it with max preloads etc its the same ,
Cant feel anything through the brake lever,

Really putting a downer on my new bike !

Any ideas please
Had this with several bikes, not the Tracer though. A change of front tyre has always cured it. I seem to remember Bridgestone and Contis being the worst culprits. They were also the tyres I suffered the worst scalloping on the tread edges, perhaps it's the same cause? I know it's not helpful but I only had the problem when letting go of the bars so the answer is not to let go!
