So my 98 gs500e is having a bad handling issue. It weaves left to right at slow speeds and when i try to take a corners its impossible to keep my line ( goes out more than i want) and at high speeds in a bend it starts to to a mini speed wobble???
Ive changed the headbearings but made no diffrence...
Have you checked for a loose axle/pinch bolt, loose fork tube clamps (on the triple trees), worn out wheel bearings, ....
How is the air pressure in your tires?
Whenever my front tire gets extremely low the handling drops off almost as you describe.
Check wheel bearings, wheels, and tires. Slow speed weave and high speed wobble in turns could be low air pressure in tires as suggested or could be a tire bead not properly seated or something not tight.
Check it all out, put bike on center stand and put blocks or jack stand under pipes at front so you can shake and spin both wheels. Are wheel bearings smooth and tight without wobble or notchiness, spin wheels and look for wobble in wheels and/or tires. Make sure axle nuts, triple clamp bolts, etc are all tight. Are tires in decent shape, not old and worn uneven?
rear wheel alignment, swing arm bushings, head stock bearings. bent frame, tripple tree, or forks, forks uneven spring rate or oil level.......... and number of things can influence a wobble
Might not be it, but I was always told bad wheel alignment can cause weave and wobble?
Thanks for the reply guys, i think i might start of with new tyre, it looks pretty uneven and is geting cracks in it.
It has them continental tyres on them, they look pretty poor tyres tbh.
