Wobbly front wheel
I took my wheels off yesterday and get the tires changed ('03 FXST w/ spokes).Now after I put the front wheel back on, it wobbles. I feel the brakes sudder a little when I slow down, too. The handle bars don't shake or anything, but seems to want to dive a little when take a left turn. I noticed there are arrows on the spacers. There is one arrow on the right one and two on the left. Does this mean anything? Could I have over torqued the clamp on the right side? The wheel was balanced, too. Any suggestions?

RE: Wobbly front wheel
I agree with dano don't ride it until you have it figured out. It could be that the brakerotorgot bent if the brake is not normal that happened to me one time. To many options to mention though. Put it on a jack and spin the front wheel see if it is still true(both ways). Take it off again and put things back to gather. Also you could let the air out and pump it up with to much air to make sure the bead is popped, don't forget to let the extra air out before you ride.

RE: Wobbly front wheel
I took my 07NT in for a state inspection inPA, They told me I needed a new front tire (7200 miles) so I told them to throw one on since I was already there. Come to find out that when it came out of York (factory) they didn't install a rim strip on it. So there I am, a Father of 3 that survived combat 4 times in the past 3 1/2 years riding around on a scoot that has it's front spokes rubbing into the tube? Anyways all H-D Motor Company did was reimburse the labor fees for the day? A whopping 91 bucks that was like pulling teeth just to get that out of them. Cross your fingers and hope you have luck!!! Enjoy that scoot!
