stock on the rear but changed over front to slightly softer Bridgestone. Riding in the wet is very hazardous but then I hardly ever ride in the rain. (it hardly ever rains here in Sydney...) Might look at new springs and still considering replacing the cables as I don't have much of a feel for the front brake. She does stop when I want her to though..... |

The next thing for me is a braided hose for the front. I go on a w650 owners website a lot,many don't rate the stock front tyre especially in wet conditions - retro bridgestone tyre for a retro bike! The majority have ditched the accolades for BT45's front and rear. |

I had a bad experience not so long ago with front and rear wheel wobble on a wet road, well damp really hardly wet. Hit a black patch of some unknown substance right in the middle of a bend and both wheels decided to wobble. Luckily I was not flat out so could control it. Slowed down somewhat after that and kept her as upright as I could till road dried out. |
