I am the proud owner of an 05 LT . I previously owned a 2000 LT , great bike but with 63 k on the odo . I was smitten the gold 05 with 1900 mis on ebay at a dealer in Kentucky .
When I took it to my dealership for a once over the tech warned of a horrendous speed wobble at 35 mph if you take your hands off the wheel . BMW'S ANSWER DONT RIDE WITH NO HANDS ! Today I was trying to adjust my boot to keep out the cold 38F. took 1 hand off bars and It happened , what a wobble!!!!!!!!!!!!! It stopped when I tightened my grip on the bars . It was unintentional but boy did Ilearn a lesson .
Seems the problem stems from altering the front end rake . My 2000 never ever did this .
Anyone else experienced this phenomena?
I've been riding for 42 yrs. and consider myself a safe rider with no accidents since i was 17
