My bad humour....
Nothing happened, just rolled straight, loss of power. Smooth no shimmying.

[pcxthai150]

ok.
well, haha good for YOU then.
hey question. do you think balancing my wheels would help? i can't think of what else it could be.
also, I'm a die hard motogp fan. and i was looking at those down force fins today, thinking i might make,some and mount them some how hahaha. hey!, that's what they are literally for. they are anti wheelie downforce winglets haha

[you you]

can you do me a favor? can you try and see if yours does it? just get up to enough speed (about 25+ mph) and simply let go of the handle bars. let me know what happens for you.
thanks

Absolutely nothing. Bike just gently slows down.

I just had to try this....you you is right..... proof is I am typing this.

As long as you are wearing fluorescent you will be ok.

Make the winglets out of spam?

[pcxthai150]

so tell me, are your wheels balanced? and if not, WHY not?

hi,
Without the box on, it doesn't happen at all at any speed.

but even with the box off, it still does it.

This sounds like you are trolling.

meaning any additions, even simply a tail rack, Will cause enough weight imbalance to lift up the front and cause the tank slap at any speed.

Yeah right. What about having a passenger then?
As other have suggested, take it to your dealer with top box ( so that at least he would be able to see your top box which we didn't)

[pcxthai150]

its just a 40 litre box. very standard. ok?

[pcxthai150]

oh. yes. i see,the confusion...
sorry.
so, at first it,didnt do it with the box off. but now it,does with the box off. not sure,why.
but worse with box on.
and not as bad, but still does it NOW, even with box off.
ok?

[WhiteNoise]

Ok. I'm done! This is going nowhere.

To the OP, take your scoot to nearest Honda Hospital for full coverage testing (make sure to bring unseen topbox with you). The end
