Re: Speed wobble at 45mph-ish
|
Front tire pumped to 29-30 psi?
Front forks & axle aligned with the pumping method?
Were the forks ever damaged in a crash?
Checked steering head bearings? Steering is smooth and easy, not notchy, not loose, not slipping?
The W650 will wobble when the rear springs are not firm enough
for the rider and any rear loads particularly if the rear tyre is
soft.
I experienced this and found that the rear springs had been
released to the softest setting after a service.

Hey folks,
?
I have a 2000 W650 and the bike has developed a speed wobble
around 35-45mph in 3rd or 4th gear when I let go of the
handlebars.? I don't usually ride without my hands off the bars
but I discovered this a while ago when I loosen my grip.? I've
since changed tires, rebalanced the front tire, loosened up all
the bolts and axle on the front forks to reset the alignment but
to no avail.? Curious to see if you guys can think of anything
that may be causing this?
?
I've attached a video of the wobble slowing down from 50mph
to around 45mph.? Thanks!
