bike wobble HELP
ok so as i am slowing down i noticed a twich and when i let go of the handle bars they started to wobble.
WTF whats gone wrong, i have checked the tire pressure and its 34 38 as i have had this pressure always, but why the wobble ?.. its going to be serviced next week 12000 so it will be fixed then, but in the mean time what can i do.

Re: bike wobble HELP
Get an assistant to sit on the bike and check every things tight .
Check the brakes are free to release .you may have simply lost a wheel weigh.but get it looked at asap .

Re: bike wobble HELP
sounds like head bearings to me, had similar happen on my dommie, tightened them up problem solved. Jack the front of the bike up grab the bottom of the fork legs and see if there is any play.

Re: bike wobble HELP
Just wheelie everywhere and don't worry about it. Learn to turn corners whilst on the back wheel too.

Re: bike wobble HELP
Check the head and wheel bearings.
And don't rely on the book servicing to keep your bike safe, that's not what they're there for. It's still very much your problem to not die.

Re: bike wobble HELP
had this problem with my Fazer. Changed the head bearings, made no difference, turned out to be wheel balance, a weight had been lost somewhere.
