Ryker has a Vibration at 60mph - is this common? Any upgrades or fixes?
Hello new family, I recently bought a 2020 Ryker 900 Rally. So far it is great. My question is at about 60mph or so it kind of shakes. It doesn't seem like a wheel out of balance but maybe. It seems like the from left wheel (while on bike side). But I also see steering stabilizers and stuff available. My question is: this is common, and is a stabilizer is a good upgrade for these; or should I have the wheels checked? It's not horrible, but just enough. It has about 1400 miles on it, just for reference. Other than this, at the moment I can't think of anything else I need help with. Thank you in advance.

I would start with the simple things.
I'm not sure how hard it is to remove a wheel on a Ryker, but maybe swap the two front wheels and see if the problem moves to the other side?
Of course you can't do that if the tires are directional, also something I don't know about.
Good luck!

Could be an out of round tire. Quite common with the OEM Kenda's. You cannot balance an out of round tire. Easy to check. Simply lift the wheel off the ground and spin it to see. You can also look for cupping on the tire. Do both fronts for comparison.
If both tires are round, it may be nothing more than a bad balance job. This can be corrected by applying balance beads or Ride-On without having to remove the wheel. Of course you can take them off (with a huge cheater bar) to get the 220+ lb. ft needed. And have them balanced. Or take it to a dealer and have them do it (gets expensive). But you're going to need a torque wrench that will get you back to the 200 ft. lb. to remount.
Hope this helps.

Tires might be a little flat spotted from sitting too long. A good warm afternoon lengthy ride might even help.
