Help!! With front end
I got my bike all back together today and i have a slow speed wobble. Well i guess you would call it that it kind of makes the front end go back and forth like the rim is bent or the tire was out or round, I have tried a couple of things First i replaced the motor mount it was bad. Then i realined the rear axel it was off some. That made it better was wondering if i did the reat of the alingnment process if that would solve the problem. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

Did you by chance put new tires on? I had a similar experience awhile back, and this is what it ended up being. Probably does not happen often but it can happen.
[QUOTE]Well I have some info to share. I did not notice the first night I rode home after having this work done, but the next day I noticed a wobble in the front end between 30 and 40 mph. Also during a right turn it felt like the tire wanted to hop off the ground, but not during a left turn. Well, I figured it was either not balanced or the rim need to be re-trued. Couple of people sudjested that maybe the tire was not seated well. As it turns out the new tire was bad. A section of the sidewall was thicker than the rest. You could feel it when you ran the sidewall between your thumb and fingers./QUOTE]

no the front end was on it when i got the bike i changed to a solid cast front wheel. I did the fall away and took it out and noticed the wobble. I need a new rear tire but dont know if that would affect the front end. unless the rear is cupped
