I copied this from a post from Jeff Saunders(owner of Z1 enterprises) Motorcycle Wobble Causes There's a LONG list of potential area that can cause this. These are not in any particular order Wheel bearings Steering bearings - repack grease, check tightness Swing arm bushings/sleeves/bearings - replace is worn, repack grease Fork springs aging - check spring length Unequal fork oil - if seals leak, then your damping can be ineffective Rear shocks aging, damper leaks - if you have oil leaking from the seals, the damping is toast. Worn Tires/Mismatched tires/tire pressures/wrong size tires Wheel alignment - don't trust the chain adjusters - I visually align the wheels. Bent rims/broken spokes - get the wheels off the ground and spin them - check for runout / damage Front disc warped - check for runout Steering & swing arm bearings are very common problems, but so are tire issues (pressure/mismatch) and wheel alignment. |
