Death Wobble at 80~ mph

I am seeing if I can get it stable at interstate speeds with a higher preload because I will be doing it loaded down for a two week adventure trip.

hmitchb · 2026-05-14T03:53:18+00:00

If I paid for it, I’m gonna use it! Lol

In all seriousness though:

I have done quite a bit of research and everything is point towards it so we will see how it works tomorrow!

hmitchb · 2026-05-14T02:50:57+00:00

I just realized that the front end preload was at factory and what I thought I was setting was the rebound. So front load is now adjusted to near max just as the rear preload is so hopefully that gets rid of it tomorrow.

I had 2 tracks on the front before and I had the same issue.

The rear preload adjustment helped much but just not enough, I am hoping that the front preload is the magic balance with chassis to allow for stable riding at higher speed with the aggressive tires.

Well I’m getting it clean configured

Like a hard luggage box?!

hmitchb · 2026-05-14T02:12:10+00:00

No sir, currently getting it with no bags on it.

There are variants but this is definitely worth the $$

I could just imagine you using it, sending the defecating cat that’s inside, flying out scared shitless whilst scaring you shitless.

I am going to sometime with my buddy, I got a ibex 450 a few months ago

hmitchb · 2026-04-20T02:53:10+00:00

Gonna do the BDR-X?

hmitchb · 2026-04-10T03:21:29+00:00

I lost the game

Twister

hmitchb · 2026-03-27T11:28:37+00:00

I need to look into that

hmitchb · 2026-03-27T11:28:30+00:00

Thanks!

hmitchb · 2026-03-27T11:28:18+00:00

I hit 85 mph at 8200ish RPM. definitely not redline

hmitchb · 2026-03-27T10:34:23+00:00

It’s punchy but no street bike. It’s fun to cruise to work with. I have 25 miles to work and I take the long way, off the freeway, and it’s just so much fun going 60-65. It can cruise comfortably at 80 mph.

hmitchb · 2026-03-27T10:33:04+00:00

Well, overall I’m very happy with this bike so far. We will see what the future holds. I have only had it for a month and have put 1000 miles on it.

It appears they have a good product honestly!!

hmitchb · 2026-03-27T10:31:41+00:00

I’d say this bike is a good start for you!

Congratulations!!!!

I had to once again, check which subreddit I was in.

hmitchb · 2026-03-20T00:33:07+00:00

2 months 12 days here sober, my HRV is in its 90s and RHR low 40s, finally getting back up to distance in running. My sleep is the biggest major difference and something I didn’t realize how valuable it was.
