Could be an out of balance tire....Does i do it only at 60....If you drive slower or faster and it doesn't bounce then most likely the tire[s]are out of balance..

1)If the bike is new take it to the dealer and have the tire inspected/balanced. The stock tires are known to be of poor quality and many have been warrantied because they were defective from the beginning.

2)Replace tires ASAP with new car tires. There are many good tires out there in the 15 inch size that fits the front of your Spyder. And the rear as well. I have all car tires on mine.

Both are right on. But a bounce is different to me than a vibration as in a out of balance tire/wheel. A bounce at only 60mph may be due to the shocks. Either more or less pre-load might be needed. But regardless, being new I would get it back to the dealer and let them resolve it. You paid way too much to try fixing it yourself. Later on yes but not brand new. Oh, might also be too much air in the front tires.

Good to see some Canam Spyder posts here.

thanks all, I'll pass this on.

he should be joining the forum

Yeah check balance and or tires as mentioned above. Kenda's are not one best mentioned tire on the Spyder forums out there.
