Has anyone else bought a spunkin' new Aprilia and noticed none of the wheels have been balanced, my thing has a wicked wobble at 130+.
Not a balance weight to be seen! :huh

Might not be the wheels, could just be that you need to set the suspension to cater for your weight/style blah blah. Or it could be the shitty road surfaces of the north east coast...

I would have thought the front would be balanced if not both. You dont often get a perfectly balanced tyre. You taking it back to the dealer to see what they say about it?
My bike gets a big wobble on the front end but I think its cos the rear suspension is too hard, the front too soft and steering damper too soft and then riding really fast over bumpy roads..

You have been here then......... a lot of the road surfaces are crap, they have just started re-surfacing a stretch of road where they spray hot liquid pitch onto the old tar then cover it in about 2" of loose gravel.........:exclamation:exclamation
Dont think it is a suspension issue, deffo seems to be a wheel imbalance, I would take it back but I bought if from DK and had it delivered...... bit of a ride.
I will take it to the local tyre guy and get it balanced I think.
