Hi All,
A query for all the Int650 long term owners out there.
I bought mine last year in May with 10,000 kms on it here in India.
During the test ride i didn't really feel any vibes or wobbles at either end and the deal was good so I grabbed the bike.
Since then over time I've noticed that the bike has developed a tendency to step out of line at the rear wheel, especially at low speeds. I've had the rim trued at two different RE service centres but they haven't been able to fix the issue.
Now for members who haven't ridden in the urban traffic of a large Indian city, it's a very different experience where there is so much 2 and 4 wheel traffic all around you fighting for every inch of road, in these conditions the heft of the Int650 with the 210kg weight, it's really a nerve wrecking way to travel.
Even on the highway at speed upwards of 60kmph and especially with the notorious road conditions with lateral ruts, the rear wheel really makes me feel like it's going to swing right from underneath me.
My question is has anybody else felt this behaviour with the rear wheels? Especially my fellow Indians. The bike is still on the original Pirellis with still about 40% tread depth available and has done less than 11,000kms.
Please share any information and any solution to this weird problem of mine.
TIA.
