Hello all,

I just bought a 2002 Madami Galileo 50 which is nearly identical to the 2002 Yamaha Vino (A Chinese clone of it) so I figured you all could probably help me with my issue. The bike handles fine until about 20mph and then the back end starts to feel odd. Almost as if it wants to slip out on me. the feeling isn't constant, but consistent. The tire has plenty of tread and is inflated properly, the shock compresses and releases fine. I propped the bike up and there is no wobble in the rim. I cant figure out what this could be. Any ideas?

It feels like it wants to slip to the left by the way

I'm getting the same feeling except there's no bias in one direction or the other. I assume it's time for me to get a new tire. I guess the situation's not the same with you since your tread is fine. Maybe your tire is just wack. Sorry, I can't help much. I'm all about DIY, but maybe this one's for your shop to take a look at.
