Hello All,
This is my first post. I have a 2017 S10 ES and I love the bike! So far, only 6,500 miles, but I'm just getting started. I put on a Pilot Road 4 Trail in the front and a PR4 on the rear about 300 miles ago. When I am going straight it seems that any breeze or passing car moves the bike, making it feel wiggly or squirmy... not something I can get used to. The factory Battle Wings did not seem to do this.
Turning and ride quality are fine. But the wiggle from 40 mph and faster doesn't seem to be going away as the tires get more miles. I have tried raising and lowering the air pressure in the front, using 33 PSI as the benchmark.
If you have any suggestions or advice, I would be grateful. If it can't be resolved, I will put the front Battle Wing back on (it is still okay, the rear was getting squared) and try riding with the PR4 on the back. If that doesn't get the straight line tracking back to the way it was, then I will put a new Battle Wing on the rear, too.
When I put PR4s on my previous bike, it was a massive improvement and I was hoping the same results with the S10.
Thank you. And, thanks for your posts. This site provided very useful information for my decision to purchase the S10.
