On Road Rythmic Judder!
Posted: 16 Sep 2012, 21:45
Confession it's not a CRM problem - actually my CRM on road is faultless but posting on here for some help please
I'm lucky to have also owned a KTM530 EXC 2009 model fantastic bike I brought it partly because it was so different to the CRM. I'm no off road god it was a gentle giant but had a really wilde side, I enjoyed the bike immensely but part of the reason I sold it was that on road it would judder. Most noticeable when holding a constant speed I could first detect it around 35mph but was at its worse around 60mph. It was not a wobble or head shake best way of describing it was that it was like wheels are egg shaped. The judder is Rythmic and always the same:- smooth, smooth judder judder judder smooth smooth it shakes your arms and makes it difficult to focus. I ride green lanes a lot so spend 60% on road so this gets very tiring and I think that it must be doing same off road thereby making bike unstable.
Sold the 530 and brought a Husaberg FE450 awesome bike absolutely love it but guess what exactly the same as the 530 on road judder. Internet searches have not provided any answers, any ideas?
