wobble

anyone around the dallas area having a hard time staying on the road going down 635 loop....looks like they stripped the road and its nothing but long parallel lines....i got my new tires on the max and was experiencing some serious wobble trying to ride them lines....hell i even stopped to...

I have only a minor issue at 40 -45 mph and the front end has been checked out and tightened. My question is, do you think the fly screen and backrest contribute to it? Second what is the best tire option for a stock vmax. I have never been a fan of the Dunlops. Thanks Hwystar1

I was coming home tonight from my girls house and this is new but at 105 ( I know...too fast) anyway at 105 there was a start of a wobble in the front end. I pulled over and checked my tires and they were good. I rode the rest of the way home at a sane speed and no more issues. I took it up to...

I always heard of the vmax and the dreaded high speed wobble, I had Metzler marathons on front and back and never had the speed wobble and I have had the bike wide open a handful of times when I replaced the front tire with a dunlop qualifier I now get the wobble at about 180km/h. I don't really...

I am up here in northen AZ and was watching the TV when Channel 5 comes on for a special report tonight at 10:00 MST on the Harley Davidson Death Wobble :surprise:. They go on to say is H-D hiding this problem from the public. I am going to watch this tonight to see what they have to say. I"ll...

Last week i asked if anyone knew how to fix a scarry wobble in the front forks when slowing down. I was suprised that no one answered with a cure. I was curious to hear from the experts out there. Well thanks a bunch. Actually ive been building bikes all my life starting with an indian papoose...

MY NEWLY PURCHASED VMAX GETS A PROGRESSIVE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT WHEN SLOWING DOWN IF YOU DONT HOLD THE HANDLEBARS TIGHTLY. THERE IS ONLY 18.000 MILES ON THE BIKE. WHAT WOULD CAUSE THAT ? ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS HAPPEN? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. TURBO:bang head:

Hello everyone, I noticed that my bike is much more safe, predictable, and solid when a passenger comes along for the ride. Obviously, there is more weight on the suspension. I'd like to see if there is a stronger correlation between the speed wobble and weight.

My front tire wobbled when I bought the bike. So, I read on here and replaced my steering stem bearings, which looked pretty worn. This fixed most of the problem, but there was still a problem when letting off the throttle in fifth gear around 50 down to 45 mph. So, I changed out the wheel...

Hi guys I have got a 05 max its only done 7000 miles my tyres are metzelers 110/90 and 170/80 the bike has a bad wobble at 110mph which gets worse the faster you go but if I have someone on the back the wobble disappears even at 135mph I have checked the head bearings and swingarm bearings and...

i tighten my head lock bolt yesterday and I was thinking perhaps a steering dampener would help the head wobble. are they worth it? i noticed when i go over drawbridges i get a decent amount of headshake. i didn't have this problem with my fz1 or shadow. I noticed if i run my bike hard up...

Well I took my new 1985 Max for a fast rip down the highway. YAAHOOO,...weeble wobble at 85mph..yikes.Havent experienced that in years!!!!Well this sucks,..what to do?Where to begin, how much money and time is this gonna take? Hmmmm..GOOGLE Vmax wooble....boy these things are cursed!! Pages of...

hello again all i noticed that after about 115mph i get alot of front end wobble and i just wanted to confirm my suspition that its only the wheel bearing and not the head stearing bearing. there is no clicking turing the bars, no over or under steare, and no bumps or shakes at any other speeds...

Hello I'm getting a terrible wobble in the front end right around 45 mph. I only feel it when I REALLY loosen my grip on the bars - if I am gripping normal I don't notice it. It doesn't seem to wobble at lower speeds. I suppose this could be a number of things, but what would be the order to...

A couple months ago, Mr. Morley did some work on my bike, including tightening the steering to get rid of my decel 45mph wobble. Last night it came back. I jacked up the front today, and the steering was very loose, bouncing back hard and often from the stops when the bars were left to turn on...

I noticed under hard acceleration and changing lanes or the least bump in the road I get front end wobble. I placed my 900 mile 07 vmax on the center stand and had someone sit on the back to get the wheel up in the air. Then I did the wheel fall test to the stops and it fell fast and...

Just wondering if anyone developed a wobble directly after installing a 170 rear? ________ maryjane

I have brand new steeting head bearings and I adjusted the bike jacked up on the centerstand so the steering will barely bounce in either direction. The wobble is still there! What else can I try to fix this issue? Thanks, Abe

So i did the steering head bearings fix, and my decel wobble basically curred itself... so i was riding today and took my left hand off to itch my ass (or something i don't remember) and there was the decel wobble (much less than before though) again.. so i spent the next 10 miles trying to...

I was just wondering if anybody out there has a problem with the infamous speed wobble at right around 90 to 100 mph. ? I heard something about replacing the rubber washer in the tree with a steel one . I have no idea where to get one at and does anybody know if it really works or what does. I...
