    80 MPH that is, or 130 km/h.

    I am thinking of giving the MT 21's a shot.
    I have used them with good results on my KTM 640's and DRZ's.

    Anyone have experience with them on the Terra?
    I dont want to go through another Kenda Big Block wobble fest.

    I only use MT21s. They wobble at 120kph until they've been run in - say 500km. I don't use a steering stabiliser and don't have issues after the run-in.

    Thanks for the input Chuffa.

    If I try them I wont get discouraged if they do wobble at first.
    Seems like they were like that on my KTM's if I remember back, never ran the DRZ's up that fast very much..

    D606 and no wobble at any speed since I changed the steering head bearings. No damper either.
