Steering issue possibly? Neck bearing? Need help
Good afternoon everyone! I'm new to the Harley scene. Been on sportbikes but just got a bob and I'm loving it. I have a small concern that maybe some of you could help me with. You know when you are riding at a decent speed let's say 60mph and you counter steer back and forth reall fast and the front end wobbles like crazy. I don't know why I've done this and I'm sure some of you have to just to get a feel for it ha. But it's That weird scary unstable wobbly feeling. The other day on the interstate I was riding and I simply adjusted my body on the seat and got that exact same feeling. To me it just seemed like something was a little loose for it to be doing that with me just changing body positions. It happened a few times on my ride home. Maybe I'm being a little over cautious. And I could still ride just fine but I'm thinking it should be a little more stable than that. I'm gonna check the bearing when I get a chance. I don't know any thoughts?
Check and adjust neck bearings, check tires for run-out (could be cupped or belt separating). Dyna's also need some elaborate alignment thing done, I believe it involves sacrificing and goat and other stuff I'm not familiar with.
Sounds like you are experiencing the normal dyna weave. Lots of things can cause this from bad tires to the front motor mount.
start with the easy and move from there....tire pressure,tire condition, rear shock preload, front fork preload, steering fall away, front motor mount and power train alignment.
out of all of these the power train alignment is crucial, especially the front mount.
have a look at this...then tell us is it a wobble or weave...

Thanks so much. It's definitely more of a weave. I'm gonna check all those things before my next ride. I can't seem to find a consistent process for the fall away method for a dyna. I don't have a service manual either. I find threads but they all have a different procedure. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I have adjusted the neck bearing on my sportbike before and it helped a bunch. I think that's all it is.
