bike wobble????

Post by gt5094stang »

K guys im new to the bike world but i have ridden my bike previousley for the past 3 months on and off while working on getting the bike running right and rebuilding the carbs and all. Question i have is that i have ridden the same roads all the time.....and today for the first time i had a strange wobble in the front end??? I checked the tire pressure, wheel is tight, bearings are good and everything checked out good. Could it just be that the bike was tracking in the groove like a car does sometimes??? or rough roads and just not used to riding yet???

not to mention this was at low speeds of no more than maybe 35-45mph when this happened

i think they should make it a mandatory to put your location in when signing up so we dont have to encounter the wrath of yamaha_george lol,

wobbles can be caused by a few things like unbalanced tires, steering stem bearings, swing arm bearings, ect. was it a up and down or side to side wobble?
