| Description of the problem | When loosing my grip on the handle bar, at approximately 35 mph, the front end wobbles. If i take one hand off the grip at a steady speed the front end wobbles more. I also notice the wobble is worse on deceleration. I can feel the front end at 30 - 55 mph and the longer i let loose my grip the quicker and more drastic the wobble becomes. I have checked the front wheel bearings and the steering head bearings are tight. I have also replaced the front tire with another dunlop tire. The wobble isn't very noticeable with both hands tightly on the handle bar grips. |
