tire change problem

[marshall]

I put on a new front tire. When I was done on the test drive the transmission started shifting strangely the HSA blinked amber. the Torque Control was blinking and the ABS blinked, drive indicatour and the Tour blink and show as asterisk and I could not accelerate above 40. What can be wrong? Need help when i would let off and then try to speed back up it would work for a while then the Torque control light would come back on and begin to slow down again.

Has anyone had this problem??

I have to ask....Did you put back the same exact size tire..?

Possible the rim is on backwards. The pickup bearing for ABS is on the wrong side. If I remember correctly ABS sensor and ABS Bearing is on left side of wheel. Just my thoughts, something to check!

No. I put a rear tire as I have for years on my older Goldwings.

So you put a different tire on that was the one you had on Before the problem started..Could be that’s the problem?

This sounds like your problem and if so tire may have been mounted backwards.

Fixed and working great again.

I found that I had tightened the pinch bolts before the axel was completely seated.

reseated the axel torqued it correctly and then tightened the pinch bolts, problem solved.

the axel was only off by les than a 16” but what a difference. Thanks to everyone for all the help.
