If your head or swing arm bearings are a bit lose or have some play an out of balance wheel would feel exacerbated.

ok, bit of an update here

Front and rear tire pressures set at 40psi (max front is 41psi as per sidewall)

No change

Adjusted front stem bearings, they seemed a bit loose, but were still in spec....

Jury is still out. need to take it up on the slab to see what happens, problem is, we have about 25mph winds today, and dont want that skewing the check. will take it out in the early AM to see what happens when its calm out.


rear bearings checked out good, both wheel and swingarm. Tire balances are good.
