[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1143424, member: 20946"] Is this an up and down shaking, typical of a tire out of balance? Does it get worse as speed increases above 90? I think you're implying that it tapers off after 90, but doesn't go away. Or is this more of a back and forth shaking of the handlebars? I had an awful shaking back and forth in my handlebars from the first day I put my new PR3 on... until the day we took it off and replaced it with a new PR2. It occurred between 35 and 50. We rebalanced the tire figuring that might be the problem but to no avail. Later on, with a new tire, problem solved. From what I've read, occasionally a tire is just defective from the factory: out of round, out of whack, out to lunch: who knows. It does happen, though it's rare. But what you're describing sounds different. I'm wondering about wind turbulence. Do you have a top box on your FJR? An oversize windshield? Another thought: ever service the steering head bearings?
