[QUOTE="Esa, post: 1459763, member: 99732"] Thank you for your most valuable response. I´ll convey your info to the persons in charge of the maintenance. "Jumping" feels like there is a stone stuck in the front tyre and the more I accelerate and drive more than 100 km/h the problem is not that prominent but still exists. The front tyre (Metzeler) has been changed three times anticipating that the tyre lining or the Metzeler model is not ok but this did not make any difference. The front rim was changed because the maintenance person believed / tested that it is not 100 % round. I doubted this seriously since I have not driven the bike on gravel roads at all, the bike has never had any collision or fallen down or anything like that and has only 31000 km "carefuL driving". Finally the Metzeler was changed to Pirelli and this alleviated the feeling but did not abolish it. The rear tyre is Metzeler and both the front and rear bearings are brand new. The bike has regular suspension and cartan shaft. The torque on the steering head bearings ha salso been checked. [/QUOTE]
