Wheel wobble

[Dochunt]

I had a little wheel wobble at the end of my ride yesterday.
I was going about 70 mph and it was windy.
Slowed down and got home.
Tire pressure was good , shocks seemed okay.
Tread is good.
It didn't happen once I slowed to 55 mph.
Will check it out again today.

Flat spot + you are getting to know the bike? Make sure you're running 33/36 PSI cold..., with an ACCURATE gauge too! 

[Dochunt]

I was thinking that.
I have an old fashion tire gauge.
I think I will run down to AutoZone and get a digital one today.

Got a new gauge.
Old gauge was low by 2 lbs.
Didin't have any wobbling today.
Could have been the tire or the wind.

If it sat in a collection, stands to reason it had a little flat spot but it's new enough to probably work out.

Hint for the 4 - 5 months a bike sits indoors in NJ: park the bikes on thick pile carpet remnant over the winter and inflate the tires to ~ 40 PSI. Not perfect, but they don't take a set that way and any flatting works out in a few miles. This works for fair weather sports cars too. 

Just remember to reduce the pressures in the spring.

Great.
Did not know that.
I have a 1996 Porsche Boxster that a bought new in 96.
I have always driven it and my bikes at least every 2 weeks as long as there was no snow on the road.
I start having withdrawal symptom if I go too long without my ladies.

Bike stands...

Rather ride them but that sounds like a good idea.

Don't rub it in,
We just got through the second brutal winter in a row here in the Northeast.
