Will go up a few pounds today to see if that helps. It is the factory tire with no signs of ware of any kind.
I notice also that as I come up from a lean in a corner that the howl doesn't go away completely.
Is front tire road noise normal. I know the bike is heavy, but you can hear it coming through the handle bar pockets at speed.
Just something to gripe about I guess. I have a few other bike do the same thing.
I can't speak for some, but 41psi in the front tire, Dunlop E-4's. make my bike ride like a lumber wagon...No howling that I hear from the newer tires, but I do remember some road noise with the OEM tires...I would reduce the front psi to around 37/38 and try that....Regards
