03 xb9r, bent front wheel on a pothole. needed new rubber so pilot power 3's and a new front wheel to drain the last of the pennies in the piggy bank.
front wheel came with new bearings and spacer. got the new rubber put on, threw the wheels back on ad noticed the rear wheel bearings looking a little old.
time to scrub tires in, i notice what i can describe as some bouncyness in the front almost a slight hop. chalked it up to new rubber, then when on the freeway i got a decent wobble/handle bar dance at 85+ It was no tankslapper but a decent pucker moment indeed. put about 50-75 miles on the new tires and even when walking my bike in neutral i feel what i can describe as a slight lump/minor wobble. had it rebalanced, no dice.
am i trippin and just need to put more miles on the tires? or...?
my suspects are as follows:
-i need to rebuild the front caliper because im getting brake pad drag on the front rotor
-need new rear bearings(but i swear i feel it in the front only)
-need new steering head bearing
Big thanks in advance to any good advice, all help is appreciated
