XB9S at the shop

[ragincajen]

I took my '03 xb9s to dealership to get new tires mounted that I purchased. They called and said steering head needed adjustment so I told them to do it. I pick the bike up and as I am on the way home I found that once I reached 80mph the bike started to tank slap on me. Once I slow down it goes away, but again as soon as I reach 80mph it comes right back to trying to tank slap. SCARY! The shop has had the bike for a week now and nothing. WTF? I am frustrated as hell at this point. Anyone had this happen before to them. Any ideas?

Turns out it was the front tire. They put on a different front and the speed wobble went away.Clear sailing...
