Wobble

by Burrell
(Gulfport, Florida )

2006 Yamaha Venture. Sometimes between 50 and maybe 35 mph, when slowing down. The bike tends to want to wobble. Tire pressure is correct. What else could cause this?

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the tires. I had older tires from the previous owner and even though the treads were ok, there was a slight ribbon effect that you can feel if you run your hand over the side wall of the tires. I could not see the slight waves of the rubber but you sure could feel it.

 Forks / Frame
by: MATTHEW

Raise the bike off the ground and check for slack in the fork/frame area where the front forks attach to the frame. there shouldn't be much if any slack front to back or side to side.

My answer would also tend to be fork seals are gone, and also the fork oil. Run your hands up your forks to see if there is excess amount of oil. Yes, and look to see if your weights are still attached to your rim.

How's your fork seals? Are you wheel weights still on the rim?

I don't know but you need to see a mechanic as this can be unsafe.
