2001 FLSTS has wobble between 35-40 MPH. Changed tire, rims not bent, all adjustments have been done. Can't get it to stop, any ideas?

 

Hi mdst,

Do you mean handlebar wobble or vibration? The wobble can be from other things, such as poor loading, loose head bearings, tyre pressures, wheels not in line and much more. If it's a front end vibration, it could be a poorly mounted tyre (check for lateral run-out at rim when revolved by hand etc), may also be an out of balance wheel/tyre but this is normally at 50mph ish.

Any use?

 

You should also check your spokes
I solved a little front end issue with a quick check and tightening of a few front spokes..

Standard ride heights? Wobble just started or simply got too much? What adjustments have you done? Always on one road or anywhere?

 

start with your steering neck bearings. They need preload to dampen out some of the oscillations. Check your rims for true, wheel bearings, swingarm bearings, axle torque,
if all this checks out, you may have a bulged or defective tire with a weak spot.
Usually a front wobble starts in the rear of the bike, so look into the rear tire/wheel carefully.

Spokes were tightned. Bottom rockers were adjusted. Happens anywhere.

 

check the neck bearings. tighten the nut and it will probably help.

 

Reckon it's knackered old son. Sell it to me dirt cheap..

 

Reverend,
It warms the cockles of my heart that a kind soul, such as yourself, is willing to take defective equipment off the the backs of the suffering. Carry on in your quest and keep the faith that there is a sucker born every minute...ya just gotta find him!
Or, maybe you should be ashamed of yourself...NAH!!
mdst, Good luck with the problem.
