The tires are 2.50 not 3.00. I think that may be the culprit. I cleaned the forks and fessed new sleeves in the uppers with a rubber hammer. All felt tight. I'm also going to check the steering head torque. The bearings spun smoothly and there wasn't any play. The aspect ratio on the 2.50 tires looks goofy and I think the tires almost look pointed on the wider rim. I think it's messing with the geometry some way. It indicates over 60 mph and is spinning out super high rpm with the smaller tires. I'm going to get the right size tires mounted and balanced and see if that fixes it.
