Hi

When riding slowly (20mph ish) if i take my hands of the handlebars, they wobble really badly, not just judder but a proper wobble! - And the bike also feels really unstable when turning right, almost as if i've got a low back tyre... except i dont!

i cant imagine it's related at all, but all the above problems have only started happening since i put the origional exhaust back on the bike and took the racing one off !

i've tried seeing if there's any movement in the wheels (bearings etc) but they feel solid.

anyone got any idea's ??

Thanks!!!!

Tyre's squared off...

Wrong pressures.

Head bearing.

Fork seal gone.

I'll also add.

Got a top box....

They can cause front wobble. As they take some pressure off the front wheel which will allow move.

Are your front brakes binding or is the disk badly warped ?

No the brakes are ok, fair bit left on the pads and disks seem ok!

Very Happy
