Wobble in front end
CAn anyone give me advice on how to get the woble out of the front end of my brand new Street Gluide. Dealership tells me that their mech. cant take the bike over 70 mph and the bike has a bad wobble at 85 to 100 mph. has anyone else expwerienced this sort of problem. Also bike pulls to the left if you take hands of of the handle bars, but they think they can fix that problem.

RE: Wobble in front end
lots of things can contribute to wobble. \\; Are you sure it isn't the wind pushing you around and your movement is transmitting to the bars, thus creating wobble?

It happens with some bikes. I had a BMW that would shake its head on decelleration badly. Never got it out.
Check the tires for uneven wear by running you hand on tread BACKWARD.
Check Both tires for pressure .
Loose swing arm, A binding caliper, Axle nut torque.
The only bike that never had any of these were my Harleys.

Check yer rear wheel alignment..
Check yer fork fluids..
Check yer fork alignment.
The pulling left thing suggests it may be \\;a rear wheeel alignment issue..
altho there are other things can cause the pulling..
but if it is and The dealer fixes that
That may fix the high speed wobble thing
