Front end wobble?

[flymo]

Nothing at all wrong with the SV handling. Its as stable as its going to get to be honest, no problems whatsoever even when pushing it very hard.

+1 on the steering damper, no need at all. Even if you did fit one it shouldnt be to sort out a wobble thats there most of the time.

Start with pressures as has been mentioned, also dont assume that the wheel has been balanced properly. I've had loads that weren't. I fit my own tyres for the race bike so that I know for definate. In the garage you might well get a "yeah, thats close enough" as they obviously cant spend all day on your wheel alone. For me though, I want it spot on and I'm prepared to take the time to get that.

Start with the easy things to check and if it still remains post back here.

Strange... mine's steady as a rock. Check everything that's already been said - but it could also be down to uneven wear on the tyres.

So what should the tyre preasure be? im running continental road attacks and have just checked 27.5 on the front and 32 on the rear, according to hanyes its 30 something but what ive read on here suggests 42

I have the same problem i have checked everything tyres, wheel bearings, even the balance of the wheel but but still can't find the problem.

my bike used to wobble all the time at most speeds.
Two new tyres later with wheel balancing and all wobbles have gone.
Could have been square rear tyre,missing weights,will never know,but its a different bike now

I know it is 36psi front and rear with Bridgestones, just checked a pair!

Unusual... they used to recommend the 33 front, 36 rear with the BT010 and BT020.

36psi front and rear for the 020's and the 021's, recommended by bridgestone yesterday for both Curvy and Pointy.
