Donnie,

My front tire "wandered" for the first couple of weeks, and then it settled in (or down). It was so bad at first that I thought "all the spokes must be loose, or this rim is bent". I was on my way to the dealer to pitch a fit, and it just stopped wandering. It was more pronounced at slow speeds. Give it a couple of weeks, I bet it quits...

Deej - Maybe you are already aware of this Shelton Dual Sport ride (see link below), I may make it, a buddy lives in Oly but he may or may not be in town:

onestarr99 - thanks for the tip, a new tire is definitely cheaper than the WER kit.

YYY.GUY - Fortunately I was able to start the mototune breakin at 1 mile,

mole, suprakawigrl, toad1025 - thanks for the welcome!
Sounds great, except my bike isn't exactly quiet. I wonder if there will be sound checks there?

Welcome to the forum. I have to say that I noticed some wander/shimmy in the front tire as well, hope it settles down. I have to ask though how loud is the muzzy, i have read quite a few refrences to them being very loud lately.

[sm=angrymail.gif]Actually loud is bad, look at all the land being closed of to motorcyclists. Sure not all of it is because of noise but it sure as hell annoys people ..... including me. The more people annoyed by loud exhausts the more people that will want land closed off to us.

guess thats dependent on ur area/local... around here harleys are dime a dozen loud as ****.. no1 complains about them or the noise of ATV's... our residents main complaints (excuses) for land closure is a little bit of everything... litter.. people trespassing.. reckless driving etc etc etc.. ive yet to hear anything about noisy machines tho.. guess it just depends on the location and the easiest excuse for all the tools that dont like any1 else to have fun
