#286296 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1306 Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   I've been getting a pretty good wobble on the front end recently. Don't really feel it unless I loosen my grip on the bars and then it starts to really wobble. I'm running 40 PSI in the front tire and it doesn't appear to be cupped (but maybe I'm not looking at it correctly). Any help or suggestions would be appreciatd here. Thanks.   Logged     2004 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #286298 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   Is it all the time or only on decel?   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #286352 stroker (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 166 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   I have the same problem I hope someone has an answer.   Logged     I\'m not growing up and she can\'t make me!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #286366 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1306 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   javawave wrote: Is it all the time or only on decel? It's only when I release pressure on bars. Wobble only occurs when holding bars with one hand or barely gripping with both hands. As soon as I grab bars with normal grip, the wobble goes away. Wobble begins within seconds and gets quite severe very quickly. This is a recent issue. Used to be able to release both hands () and bike would balance easily.   Logged     2004 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #286367 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1883 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   how are the neck bearings? try lowering the tire down to like 36 or so and see if anything changes.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #286373 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1306 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   Thanks. I was going to reduce PSI and see if that eases things up a bit. Need some guidance on the neck bearings if it comes to that.   Logged     2004 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #286374 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4344 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   How many miles do you have on the front tire? Some people have reported this happening when they get close to the end of the tire lifetime.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #286376 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1306 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   fireman922 wrote: How many miles do you have on the front tire? Some people have reported this happening when they get close to the end of the tire lifetime. Close to 8,000. Tread looks good all around though. I was hoping to get 10,000-12,000 miles out of them.   Logged     2004 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #286377 DrumDon (User) Real men have twins! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1260 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   take your windshield off and go for a ride - see if it still wobbles... could be wind buffeting.   Logged     2001 HD Road King Classic   The administrator has disabled public write access. #286381 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1306 Re:Wobble 1 Year, 12 Months ago   DrumDon wrote: take your windshield off and go for a ride - see if it still wobbles... could be wind buffeting. Thanks but I think it's something else. Just started happening last few weeks. Shield has been on for a couple years with no issues. Did check PSI and I am at 42 and not 40 as I originally stated. Reduced to 38 but can't ride due to weather. Would too much PSI be a cause of the wobble?   Logged     2004 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access.
