I posted this on the other "Wobble" thead...so I will post again on this thread.

...I've been riding motorcycles for over 47 years (Harley's since 1978) and luckily never experienced the "death wobble"...I have heard and read stories of other riders's talking about the experiences they had.

I'm really glad to see the Phoenix KPHO News Team bring this issue out in the open to inform riders of this problem and it's also interesting to see the motor company's quick response admitting issues with wobble or installation of aftermarket parts. I'm sure there is more to come...its also more than just worn tires and uneven pavement.

Not long ago one of the top Japanese car manufacturer's had random acceleration problems and their stand was "their cars were perfect" and see what happened when media brought the problem to light.

 

I had a '96 FLHR for 15 years, 100K miles, could ride it no hands for miles at any speed with no wobble, just bought a '10 Road Glide Custom, love the bike but had a front wheel wobble if I I let go of the bars. When I did my 1000 mile service I greased the front steering neck, guess what, no more wobble, my guess is the wench who put the bike together did not grease the steering head. Did I mention he did not adjust the head light height either. BTW the dealer is no longer in business....

 

I experienced it... went to heavier oil in my forks and went away....I was pushing the bike very hard in the NC mountains and it scared the sheeeet out of me...pucker factor was purdy high.

 

I think harley leaves them neer dry so that they don't leak on showroom

 

Do not make excuses for them!!

 

Here it is I think (if it is the same one)

[quote=KahunaJim;8332419]My '11 glide does it at low speeds sans hands....so does all my buddies EG Ultra's (the ones that have tried it)[/quote

Odd. My '09 Ultra is perfect at any speed. Smooth as glass. I've got about 23k on her.

 

I noticed it a few weeks back when I cranked it up to pass a semi, it started about 95. I eased off the throttle a bit & it went away. My XJ used to do it a lot worse. My Ultra is a 99 with 86000 miles on it & I noticed that one of my forks is leaking.
