Problem with my r1200gs adv front wheel.

[rainkaru]

Hello!can anybody help me.I got a brand new bike and after 100 miles I felt the front wheel wobbling strangely.I must say that I took very easy those first miles. I lifted front off from the ground and was possible to see that the fron wheel is horisontally and veritically out of balance.In our country( Estonia) there is no point to go to BMW service - no body there knows about bikes. We tried to adjust the spokes according to some booklet that I got from the shop.But no help.What to do? Are those spoke wheels really so weak?Or are there som adjusting tips that I must follow?

I'd take it back and get a new front wheel - there is only 100 miles on it

My back wheel must have been laced on the same day....

what speed where you doing when you noticed it "wobbling" and what tyres have you got on it?

If the wheel is visibly out of balance it shouldn't have passed the inspection - at the end of the day all the bikes are built in the same place, its not like the local dealer should be lacing the wheels.

Tyres and speed are the two questions no-one has asked
