A friend of mine just bought a 1000 and while out riding two weeks ago we did a little roll on race up to +/- 140 or so. I let off first and when he passed me he said he was shifting gears and all of a sudden he had a hell of a tank slapper going for a few seconds. Scared the hell out of me and him. We pulled over and checked everything out (tire pressure, bolts, etc.) and everything looked ok. We just blew it off as a fluke. He is an experienced rider or he probably would have been down. Well yesterday I was out riding with him again with some other friends and he did a roll on with a 954 RR and the same thing happened to him again around the same speed and when he was shifting. Any ideas what would cause this? Maybe the front tire out of balance or a bad tire. Any help would be appreciated before this gets him into trouble. Thanks for any suggestions.
