a bit unstable at higher speeds

that sounds mighty fast.anyone know how to change that to mph.

[streeetfihter]

Divide the km/h by 1.6. The result is mp/h 240 is some 150mp/h

Handling of the bike improved a lot after i put the new handlebar. Pushed it to 220 km/h and i didn't feel any wobble. Was surprised that there would be such an improvement

had a wobble about 120. my uncle noticed my back tire was a little off center. straightened it up. and it went away.appeared like the chain side moved forward, as i know they were even when i changed tire. maybe too much wrist.

170 mph smooth as glass

what gearing are you using? or whose bike are you riding?

I got mine to 150mph and ran out of gear, probably because it's +3 in the back. I wouldn't say it was wobbly or unstable, but it was definitely white knuckle for a bit. Just because, at those speeds, on the country road I was riding down, a deer could've jumped out 100' in front of me and all I would've been able to do is close my eyes and brace for the splat.

I guess I'm not even sure what unstable is though because my Z is the first bike I've ridden over 120 mph. My previous, and first bike, was a 1977 CB750F. You want to talk about unstable at high speeds, try tucking behind a 7" headlight and putting your feet on the passenger pegs on a 30 some year old bike just to see what she still has left in her. After that bike, my Z feels as smooth as glass.
