joshuadon 06-21-2009, 09:00 AM I am looking for a used wing.I test drove a 1200 yesterday that ran good and the price was right,but on low speed turns,such as U turns on a 4 lane,it wobbled a bit in the front end.It had some other issues that turned me off so i passed.It had a new tire on the front.Would that be bearings,bent wheel,or what?Just curious since i did pass on the scooter. ronzilla 06-21-2009, 09:10 AM ... Wow ... That Could Be Several Things ... The Pavement / Forks Flexing / Tread Design / Possible Rim Or Bearing Issues ... HAPPY TRAILS ... gogs11uk 06-21-2009, 04:41 PM Could also be loose or worn steering head bearings. T&T WINGERS 06-21-2009, 05:56 PM The first item to check would be tire balance. I have the same problem on my gl1800, just haven't had it checked yet. Since the front tire is new. I suspect it was not balanced when installed. wbetheajr 10-01-2009, 09:20 PM what is the easiest way to check the front wheel bearings and steering bearings without taking them down to do a visual ? Today I noticed when I turned out a little hard into traffic some thing didn't feel right and when I release on the handle bars it pulls slightly to the left. During braking it is fine. ronzilla 10-01-2009, 11:03 PM ... Howdy ... The Pull Is Caused By Misalignment On The Tires ...

If it's a 1200 you are looking for, I had a set of Progressive fork springs and a Superbrace fork brace on mine. That cured everything from low speed head shake to tyre cupping to high speed wobbles. I put over 160,000 miles on that puppy and no problems (other than the stators) at all. It's probably still going. | ||
