Just picked my 2006(a) up from the local Yamaha dealer, after having my 16k mile service and having a new set of Avon's mounted and the new Heli triple clamp installed.

On the ride home, I noticed a low speed wobble, however, didn't notice anything at freeway speeds. When I was slowing down in 4th or 5th gear it became noticeable at 45mph and gained severity at around 40mph. I called the dealer and am taking it back in tomorrow morning, as previously this bike exhibited absolutely no wobble, through a set of Metzlers and a set of Michelins.

Any ideas on what might be the cause, so that I can keep the dealer's explorations, on my dime, down to a minimum?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this matter.

 
Instead of just suggesting a person search, let me try and explain why I harp on searching for some threads.

I saw this thread and I knew that we had talked about it in the past few months. It's one of those subjects that was discussed a lot, with detail, and finally didn't get talked about any more and has dropped below the radar. It's right here and was easily findable by entering +Avon +wobble in the Search thread. Took me all of 12 seconds.

The thought of the rehashing the same thread is just more than I can handle. So, please understand. No offense if you haven't seen it before. Feel free to read through the other thread first, and post there if you have something to add, and I'm calling this a duplicate thread and closing. PM me if you think differently.
