HAHAHA spot on m8 , never ceases to amaze me the numpty's the dealers are employing , i have had a nine month battle with a chick on the service counter at my local dealers , she insisted my Engine warning light kept comin on because of "water". I live in the UK the bike is gonna get wet now and again !!
I Changed dealers and they diagnosed a faulty crank shaft sensor in 5 minutes and are currently repairing/replacing it.

Take it to the dealers bud and insist they check and repair it , a wobbly front end is dangerous riding slow, suicidal especially at high speeds.

They need to check it more thorough. maybe you threw a balance weight on the front tire or it wasn't balanced correctly to start.

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys ...........it is 11:40AM here and I am going to taker her for a test drive .............the winds are zero

I will let you know if she is still doing it if she is I will be making a appointment

I have a particular leather jacket I like to wear sometimes. When wearing it, and reaching speeds of around 85-90mph (including whatever wind) my bike begins to shimmy and wobble. It only happens when I wear that ONE particular jacket. Has never happened with any of my other riding gear.
BTW, it doesn't happen with that one jacket if my windshield is on.
(I only use the screen for long road trips)

 

Winds are zero? It's blowin' 25-30 mph wind gusts in my neck of the woods today...have fun.

 

We DO hope to hear back from ya there Joe !

 

Well first off I was wrong about the wind being zero ........it was hella windy

I drove for about 45 miles @65mph ..........I got on it 3 times and was running about 80 mph with no wobble

On the way back I got on it 3 times also and right about 80 the bike startled to wobble

I wonder if it is the wind ...........they said it was 14mph winds

Either way at the 1000 mile service I am going to have them check the front end for me........

50/50 wierd

Centerline is spot on. The least little thing can cause these issues. Everytime I put saddlebags on my bike, I get a gnarly wobble at 70mph and above.
The infamous rubber mount wobble has been addressed numerous times.
I've done every single thing I could possibly think of to correct this on my latest dyna. From beefing up the suspension, fork brace, steering dampener right on up to the True Track. I've got it pretty good now, but I pushed my bike really hard in a curve yesterday at about 80mph and still got a very slight wobble. Nothing bad at all and probably wouldn't be noticed by most. But after all of the time and money spent, I wanted the wobble to be nonexistent!

Definitely check the neck bearings and fall away. That's a damn good place to start!

You guys make good sense ........

I went from a 2007 1200 Custom (My first bike)

To a 2009 Street Bob .......with apes

I am 6"1 and 280 lbs easily ...........maybe I am casing the wobble

Sucks to think I would have to just live with that on windy days .......

Well definatly get it checked out under wanntery at the 1000 service......

I have had something simmilar. it turned out to be a combination of grooves in the road and a 20 mph wind. I pulled over on the hwy and thought I had a flat or something. I have encountered both things by themselves, but together it tripped me out.
