2015 CVO Ultra Limited Front End Low Speed Road Wobble
I took my new CVO Ultra Limited back to shop with because of a low speed front wheel road wobble. They stated it was ok. Scenereo is riding at low speed and felt a vibration around 30 Mph. This happened b4 with me on another mtcy and I noticed the vibration more so with my hands barely off the grips. Check the front wheel air and found it to be around 31-32#'s. Next morn I added air to 36#'s. I rode the bike and the same scenereo happens. I increase my speed up to say around 40mph and I let it coast back down to 30 with hands barely odd the grips and the wobble will smooth out at around 28/26 mph. Why does the dealership say there is no wobble when there is a wobble. Tech say my hands are not suppose to be off the handlebars. Hell I just trying to figure what's going on by taking my hands barely off the bars. Safety is the main concern. The dealership is putting me in a catch 22 situation saying probably should expect that Harley says nothing is wrong with the bike since my hands are off the bars. I found the vibration with my hands on the bars and off the bars it's a bad wobble that smoothed out at 28-26. Any ideas what to do next. Higher speeds there are no vibration(s). WHAT TO DO NEXT???????

The Wobble, Weave or Dive is a real hard thing to diagnose. Could be anything from a loose neck bearing, to a bent rim or tire balance. Ask your dealer to at least put it on the rack and check Fall Away, as a matter of fact you can do that yourself.
Have your dealer refresh their memory of the HDU videos on this subject and the pending lawsuits Harley is facing

Mine had the same problem and it was the neck bearing being too loose. The dealer did a fall away check and found it way out of limits. I have heard of other's having the exact same issue. Have your dealer check the neck bearings and your problem will go away.

I had a similar situation on my 2009 FLHTCU ( I've ridden for almost 50 years and do most of the service/maintenance myself ) and considering it was under warranty I took it back and asked them to do a fall away check and they looked at me like I was a alien ( space type ) After a bit of a "pissin' contest" it was reluctantly taken care of ... It's been fine since.
