Title: wobble after front slide
Post by: samuraibiker on March 11, 2016, 06:32:15 AM
hey friends

had a wee low speed front  slide in january...not much damage... slightly bent bars ( replaced ), scratched lower fork leg, scratched clutch lever ( replaced )... all repaired...but now have a slight wobble at 45mph+

been searching the threads and just want to get any feedback on the following to check  (in the best order )

wheel weights ( missing )
tire pressure
steering bearings
wheel bearings
bent fork

the  ( new ) bars were slightly off so I loosened the pinch bolts when the bike was on a paddock stand and applied a few good pushes to the top bridge from above..bars righted themselves nicely

any advice very welcome

regards

Mike

hey guys

thanks... the crash wasnt a big one, low speed...and the bike has only done 19,000 kms so I hope it is only a bent wheel as that is the cheapest repair option
