[John Abraham]

As per the manual the nose tire should be at 45 psi and the mains at 55 psi.

.  We have come to the conclusion that it must

be a tire out of round issue.  We have changed the whole system in the nose,

fork, axle, tire, and wheel.  Still experience the same issue.  Tire seems

shimmy (shake) as it spins down from 70kts.

 

Just an opinion, but it seems to me that out-of-round results in a vibration
when a wheel is running on the surface.  When it is just spinning free, it's
a matter of balance.
