DR-650 WOBBLE
I just bought a DR-650 and took it out for a test ride on the interstate. At 70 Miles Per Hour, if you jiggle the bars, it goes into somewhat of a speed wobble. To get it to stop, you have to actually stop the wobble yourself. It has knobby's on it. Does anyone make a fork brace or steering damper for this bike?
Thanks - John

There arent many aftermarket options for the DR... .I'll dig up some links for you... as for the wobble, methinks it's the knobbies... I have simialr issues with my DRZ400... 50/50 tires no problemo... D606's = wobble... whaddya gonna do?
BTW most likely a Scotts will fit...

A fork brace on my DR 600 works wonders!
My KTM did 180 KPH (110 MPH?) and it was rock solid with 50/50's at that speed!

sagot... most bikes are rock solid with 50/50's ...
Knobbies are 90/10 (10% on road) ...
you're comparing apples and oranges...
