Low Speed Wandering

[Fullchat]

15 GSA fited with Annakee 3s, coming up to 3K miles.

Had a long ride out yesterday visiting a relative in Preston Lancs. Hit heavy Bank Holiday traffic on the Blackpool Road which is two lanes uphill. Filtering down the middle nice and steadily I was impressed by the number of cars that just moved over to facilitate me riding through the gap.

What i did notice though at very slow speed was that the front end had a tendency to weave which is disconcerting when dealing with narrow gaps. Tyre pressures are spot on.

You will probably find that your front tyre is wearing flat

Anakee's while v. good, i find are noisy and flatten too easy.
My bike has 4.5k on the clock just had to change the rear as it was flat in the centre and 2mm tread left, the front is no better with 3mm left.
I have noticed a big difference since changing the rear, bike is more stable and tracks how I want it in low speeds (in hindsight should have changed both.)
That said I really hope I get better miles out of the new one

My new 2016 GSA LC does exactly this. A week ago on the way home from my dealer I noticed it the first time. I thought it was my imagination or my input on the handlebars until I enabled the cruise control and took my hands off the handlebars. A definite rocking from side to side. Made me quite seasick I have asked my dealer if they are aware of this.

Tyres flatting off will cause this on the GS as per comments above, I have the start of this now but being a little too tight to swap the rear until it gets unbearable

Not flatting off tyres, the bike is new, only had about 5 kms on the clock then

If this happens at low speed or when slowing down get them to check the front wheel balance
