My last drifter 800 did that after I had new tires installed. The tire wouldn't balance. Had to send it back- factory defect.

I'm having issues with the rear suspension.  First, it was just bouncing all over the place...too soft.  So I jacked it up to 7....a lot better, but between 53 and 65mph I get a lot of rear wheel "hopping", or slight bouncing...which takes alot of the fun out of going those speeds.  Above 65mph, it smooths out to where 70 to 75mph (all GPS corrected, BTW) it's like riding on glass.  I'm a new owner, and this performance stymies me.  I'm going to switch to an 18 tooth front sprocket this week, and at that time I will give the entire rear wheel a close inspection for out-of-roundness or out-of-balance.  anyone else had this type of rear end hop?
