Wobble

I have a 2007 1200xlc. I feel a wobble around 48 to 50mph. Thought it might be tire pressure or spokes but not sure. The bike only has 300miles on it. Anyone else ever had this?

RE: Wobble

I have a new 1200c with only about 150 miles on it. I haven't noticed it. I will let you know if I do. Have you asked the dealer about it?

RE: Wobble

I would start with checking the tire pressure in the front. I notice ita slight bit when my tire pressure gets low and we are riding two-up. Being new you would think the pressure is up to snuff, otherwise take it to the dealer with the warrenty.

RE: Wobble

Being a new bike and assuming the tire pressure is right I would say the front tire may not have been ballanced properly, also check around for any loose fasteners on the front end.

I believe at the 1000 check they also check that top nut on the triple tree.

An 1/8 of a turn on that might be in order .

RE: Wobble

it could be as simple as tire pressre , the back wheel not in line , or the steering head bearing. I would check the tire pressure first and if it was ok I would take it to the dealer . being that new there is a good chance it is something that didnt get assembled right when the bike was set up.
