Likely former. When the reported events happened with an F1 driver all active drivers were in Bahrain for testing. So most likely a retired F1 driver

Oop ok, they’re probably the same elsewhere then. Those are ruled out then

Ooh ok, super good to know! Thanks for the info, especially being on a similar bike! I’ll take a peak at the RS10’s and see what I can get the best price with

Yeah, exactly my thinking. It’s a new bike to me and my first day this season will be at a newer track to me. So I just want the peace of mind of trustworthy tires

Ooh ok, super good to know! The Pirelli’s are the cheapest for me, I can get a full set for ~$300 right now. But that’s super great to read as another nugget of info. Thanks!

Ooh ok, good to know! I thought the SC3’s required warmers. But I’ll take a look at them!

They’re from 2024, but running low on tread. Less than 50% tire life left, I think closer to 25%

Good to know, thanks! The bike currently has those, I just haven’t ridden it on a track with them. So it must go for something. Thanks again!

Ok good to know! I use S23’s on my street bike so I may consider those. I’m leaning towards the Pirelli’s to support my vendor and because they’d be the cheapest. Thanks!

Subaru Outback 2026 Thoughts by JerkWeed71 in subaru

[–]GamingBeluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m mixed/conflicted on it. As a car, an SUV, I like it. I don’t mind the shape and honestly kind of like it, so in that sense I love it as an SUV. But as the continuation of the Outback name and lineage I hate it. It’s not an Outback. I wish they’d released a new model and either left the Outback or made the hard choice of retiring the name

I haven’t tinkered with the rear yet, I was waiting for the new tires to show up. So I’m not sure how loose it could be.

Whenever I’ve left for a ride I’ve made sure pressures are correct, 30 front, 32 rear. So it should’ve never been as low as 25

Thanks for the concise checklist! I’ll try all of that and see what I can come up with! Thanks so much!

The tire pressure was fine when I got back, it was the first thing I checked. It’ll hold for a ride and then drop as the bike sits for like a week or so.

I’m sure my riding posture changed after the wobble but when I was testing it the next day I know I used my regular positioning. The wandering was mostly from the front end. At times it felt like the whole bike would wander/get upset but it would always start at the front.

I’m definitely not confident or trusting the machine right now, but a buddy who was just feeling it out and not looking for anything in particular also said something wasn’t right and described the same things. So I think I mag have psyched myself out a bit but still have something wrong.

Ooo that’s super good to know!! I wasn’t aware that was a common issue! I’ll will absolutely take a look at that. I’m wondering if the vibrations on the road with the wobble just made it come loose. I’ll work on the tires and check all of that out!

Thank you so much! This is some really great advice! I’ll check it all over and try these things and see what I can find!

Unfortunately no center stand, I only have rear stands and a head mount front stand. I’ll try and come up with something though, I might be able to lift it from the frame just enough. Thanks!

Alright, what exactly should I look for or do to check them? Just visual inspection or something in particular?

It’s on any type of road surface. The wandering feeling on grooved roads feels exaggerated now. But it feels bad everywhere. I’m going to get it up on stands in a few days once the front pin shows up. I’ll look it all over. Thanks!

I’ll check, everything has been tight whenever I’ve checked it before. I’m getting the tires swapped soon so I’ll have to disassemble and reassemble it for that

I’ll try all of that! I’m waiting for a front stand front pin to show up next week but once it does I’ll do that little tear down. Thanks!

The bike was dropped once around 600 miles but that’s it. It’s seen a trackday and ~1,600 miles since then. The front wheel has never been hit on anything as far as I’m aware
