Divvys got a wobble on

[sidewinder]

Hello all

I have a wobbly bar issues.When the bike is slowing or going slow if you take you hands of the bars the bars get a wobble on.When i put my hands back on it stops?.it's like a mini tank slapper but no where near as bad.Going at normal road speeds it is fine only when going slow.I have noticed sometimes when leaning over front slightly feels like it wants to tuck under.Tire pressures are good and no oil is seen on the forks.We did fit new seals a few weeks ago could these be fucked already.cheapo specials from e-bay..

thank you for any help

Check the front wheel axle incase it is bent, front wheel bearings and the headstock bearings/cups for wear.

Sure about the tyre pressures?

I've found if the XJ has the front tyre a few PSI too high then the front tucks in easily but feels like it wants to fall.

I also get the mini-tank slapper. It generally only appears if removing hands at 5.5k RPM. 5k or 6k is fine, strange.

Rear end problems can cause front wheel wobble too - check wheel allignment, shock condition/setting and tyre.

Hi
Have just checked everything and all is nice and tight.or free moving so I'm a little lost now

[Vincent]

Did you measure the length of the fork springs when you did the seals?

wobbly bars
oily airbox
shitty gears
diiiiverrrrsssioonnnn


My err valves? Have gotten loud recently, since it fell into neutral giving it beans and I heard a loud like pressure escaping sound, it seems louder, all clicky, what i'd attribute to badly adjusted clearances on a CG, but obviously the engines completely different

Should I get on that sharpish?
Vat ist?
It's really loud from around 4k

Check valve clearances and do a compression test?

So maybe a complete fork overhaul might work.new springs the works..

Interesting .not so long ago had some conti go's fitted.maybe then the pressures are different from the bt45's it had on before

[Vincent]

You sure the rear wheel is in straight? Don't always go by the measurements on the adjusters, get a ruler out and measure from the swingarm pivot to the axle.

Tyres are fairly new then?

This bloke does a decent video of how to straighten forks.
