Update on 07 Heritage wobble
First, I want to thank everyone that responded to my questions about the wobble I picked up on my baby. It has now been solved. For all of you spoked wheel scooter owners, heed the advice of an old post I saw on here and check your spokes but make sure you check both wheels. Initially, I just checked the front because the feel of the bike seemed like it was up front, and I just ahd a new tire put on the back about 1500 miles ago. I went through the diagnostic process and did the fall away by the book, checked tire pressure, checked the front spokes and it continued to get worse. I took it home after the test ride from the fall away/neck bearing adjustment and put it back up on the jack and started looking at the rear. Almost every spoke was loose so I simply worked it around about three times gradually tightening as I went switching sides each time until I got that ting. Eventually I will post some pics of her on here once I grow up and am given the propert permission. The advice I recieved here was invaluable! Thanks again
Sounds like you did real good. This is what I was saying, it's not rocket science to tighten spokes. You just can't make them too tight. Snug only. Now you'll check them at every service. That's what I do and usually find just a couple slight loose.
I've mentioned to check Ur spokes several times in here,,
Couple yrs ago right after my 10k checkup some else put it in here U better check them,, I went out to check them, and yep even though I paid the dealer to do the service and it was supposed to include spoke service,, there was 20 something spokes loose...

Same problem I had! I actually had my wheel replaced under warranty as something was wrong with it from the factory. The dealership tightened the spokes three times within 2,000 miles!!! At that point I said I wanted a new wheel and they of course agreed I needed it. No problems for the last 15,000 miles.
Glad you got it fixed.
