Title: Front Suspension Wobble.?.
Post by: ashman on October 29, 2005, 12:04:15 PM

Hey,
So I finally finished redoing my fork seals last night(it took several hours.) Anyway, on my test drive I noticed my bike kind of feels like it has a slight wobble to the left and right when I'm trying to go perfectly straight. It also feels like it wants to fall over into turns some and when coming to a red light at low speeds it just feels less stable. This time I went w/ 20 weight oil I dunno what was in before or if that makes a diff. I am at a loss for what might be causing it. Any ideas?

Front end all tight? Might check the fork brace for loose hardware.

Or the very common tire pressure too low

Airpressure and front to rear wheel alignments, check to make sure the rear is straight in the swingarm.
