I noticed a couple of days ago my springer front end developed a bad wobble at slower speeds. 2k miles ago, I had the front end serviced and the bearings. We're in good shape. If the bearings were bad wouldn't it wobble at higher speeds? It almost sounds like a tire. Air pressure was good too. Any help is appreciated

 

I have a heritage springer too, and when my tire gets choppy or cuppedit does the same thing.

 

I was thinking that it sounds like the tire is cupped

 

Check the simple things first:

1. Tire pressure/condition
2. Wheel balance
3. Spoke tension
4. Fall Away
5. Fork spring movement (are both sides adjusted equally and are both fork rockers free or is one side binding)?
6. Rear Tire balance/alignment/spoke tension - Really, it can affect the front end's behavior

That is where i would start. Keep us posted.

Ride safe!

 

I would add the bushings in the springer bottom end to the list.

 

Thanks guys. I realized that my saddlebags were packed full an I added 5lbs of air to the tires and it fixed the problem after I checked the bushings,spokes,bearings, etc.
