Hello everyone, new to this site but not to bikes, Just rid of my ex500 and picked up the 750 Katana. Went out for a ride today got out on the high way, The bike handled pretty good around town, plenty of power compared to the EX500, so when I got out on the high way I brought it up to about 100 mph and got some shimmy or shake in the front, which got progressivly worse til i shut it down around 110, not that I travel at these speeds daily but you all know the desire to twist it back a bit. When I got home I took a look at the tires, the previous owner put a new set of perelli's on it about 1000 mi ago. As I looked at the front tire I noticed that it appears to have a raised flat spot almost like someone has wrapped a belt around the tire. So I'm trying to figure out what is causing the shake, anyone know why the tire would have a flat spot like that with such low mileage on it? Any Ideas why it might be shaking? It appears that the tire weights are all on the rim. Any help would be great...
