I had my old worn pair of Anakee 3s changed for a nice new pair of Continental trail Attack 2s on Tuesday.
Now I'm sure I am not imagining it but my 2017 GS Rallye seems more 'buzzy' since the new tyres have been fitted.
The vibration does not relate to road speed but to engine revs. I believe the wheels were well balanced as vibration does not increase at higher speed etc but I'm sure Im not imagining this......
I called the garage that fitted the tyres and asked if they had 'fiddled' with anything else explaining my concerns. They check with the tech and he confirms nothing done but tyre change. I have crawled around the bike to see if anything is out of place or trapped and found nothing. The performance and handling is exactly as before and the vibration is not very bad but definitely increased. The garage have offered to check it over (not a BMW dealer as my local one does not do tyres themselves) but I can't see that they will find anything either.
My question is....... Could the new rubber, being a different compound and new etc effect the damping effect of the bike on the road and cause this??????
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
