Odd decel front end wobble
Odd decel front end wobble
2015 CVO Limited with over 14k on the clock. No issues since stock. Had to replace the front tire at about 13K because of nail. Since this tire change Ive had a slight wobble on decal at 35 to 25 mph no wobble above or below that speed range and it only occurs on decel. Not bad enough to lose control. My Tech test rode and felt it as well. I waited until the rear tire needed replaced. They pulled the front tire and rebalanced it as well as resetting checking and resetting the Steering Head specs. It seemed to go away for a bit but now it is back. Between 35 and 30 mph on decel. Any ideas?
I am thinking there might be a blem in the tire but cant see anything

I've had similar issues on two different bikes. One was a bad front tire, must have been a miscast. The second bike was the steering head. They checked it and said the torque was right, but I had them tighten it a little more then spec and it made all the difference in the world. Hope you find your problem!
Had the same problem on my 12 FLHTK. Dealer took three turns on the tree and I am rid of the problem.
