The CB runs absolutely great and makes a hell of fun. But I noticed that up to about 140km / h, the bike is great on the road, while above 160 km / h I got the impression that the CB becomes a bit unstable. I drive solo and bring with me 185m about 90 kg on the scales. Reasons could be of course the fork & shock absorber settings. But I also suspect the Dunlop D205 as a source of the problem.
How is it with you? Do you have the fork & shock absorbers adjusted differently? And maybe someone has a direct comparison of other tires with regard stability?
describe your unstability issue? wobble at the front wheel I assume?
I had the same issue on my EX at + 160km/h, but not any more.
I think and heard that the spoke wheels are the source.
Somebody told me about spoke wheels that have to 'settle'
I also had mine at 2000km, yours is also brand new I read, so I assume over time your EX will become stable at high speed.
