F800gs and mitas e07

[gebrauchtwagen83]

Just picked up my new to me 800gs and had new mitas e07 tyres fitted for the handover. I've noticed at about 80mph it develops a bit of a wobble at the front.
Is this just a characteristic of these tyres. I was thinking the balancing but not convinced it makes too much of a difference.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Dan

Someone else was asking about headshake the other day on here - I've not used those hoops, all I can say is that in 40k mine has never wobbled once - and I know you've had 800's before Dan, so you know what you're looking for. Suspension and tyre pressures all ok etc?

I´ve used these on a X Challenge. Great tyre - got me from UK to Magadan on the same set! Do wobble a bit at 80 and above though.

Yeah I've not felt anything like this with the 800 before even with TKC80s. I'll check the tyre pressures later but if not I'll get it balanced up on Saturday and see if that sorts it. Thanks guys

Sorry forgot to mention it's done 3900 miles so I'd be disappointed if it's bearings

All sorted. Bearings all checked and fine. Suspension all fine but the balancing was well out. Rebalanced and all gone.

Nice one, glad you got it sorted fairly easily & cheaply!!
