Wobble

[flaya564]

Okay, I've searched for a straight answer on this but can't find it.

Issue: wobble at 75 mph+.
I noticed the wobble on the highway and wonder what it was. I pushed the handlebar a little which made me nearly shit my pants.

I got the tail lift recently and think that may be causing the problem. I've read somewhere that the additional forward placement would cause the center of gravity to move forward as well.

If this is the case, how do I adjust the suspension to compensate? front, back, both?

I got new tires around april, don't believe them to be the problem.

How old is your bike? I would suspect steering head bearings before a tail lift.

it's a 2003. Does something like this happen kind of, all of a sudden?

If it is the bearing where would I find one?

Its prolly the suspension settings. You should re-set it up and see if it helps.

That's what I'd like to do but don;t know which way to adjust.

You can follow the instructions in the book, starting with the origonal settings based off the book. then follow step by step.

or you could take it to a pro and have them set it up for ya.

I set it up before I put the spacer in. I just don't know if I should adjust it heavier on the front or back or lighter on the front or back. I'm saying heavier and lighter because the book has you adjust it by weight.

im not saying the suspension is the cause, but clicking the back spring to a softer position would lower the back. or tightening the front springs would raise the front. you should beable to visually see which way the rear collar would need to turn in order to put less pressure on the spring
