[QUOTE="Rondo777, post: 428557, member: 7151"] I had the same problem. Mine did it from day one. New bike, new tires straight from the show room floor. I don't normally ride no handed so I wasnt really all that concerned. I would let go every now and then to see if it ever changes as the front tire wore. Never got better or worse through out the life of the tires, 8k miles. I recently got a new set of shoes, Dunlop Road Smarts. I asked the dealer not to balance them and I used Dynamic Balancing Beads in them both. The first thing I did when I got the new tires was bring it up to 80 to check the ride, smooth as glass. Then I let go of the handlebars and let her decelerate all the way back down to about 15. Absolutly no shake. I now have a little over 1k miles on the new tires and I check it quite often to see if it ever developes the shake again. So far nothing, dont know if its the tires or the beads. The beads are advertised to eliminate shake and there very cheap. Probably worth a shot before ditching your tires. I'm not one to experiment so If I get decent wear from these tires I'll be going the Road Smart/w bal beads route from now on. [/QUOTE]
