What wobble?

[Scooter]

What's with the poll about the 1st Gen wobble? There is no selection for no wobble at all, which is the catagory that my bike fits into.

Can't asnwer that Q but I never had any wobble or weaving or shaking issues on my '85 either. My '87 has a problem but it only seems now to be when riding single at higher speeds.... 160km/hr & up. Riding double is not problem. When riding single and I'm into the wobble, if going straight I just hold my knees out and it stabilizes it. Won't mess with the wobble in a turn so don't take it that fast. I suspect there's some geometry difference between 83-85 & 86 up as it appears most pre-86's don't have any wobble issues.

Yes I forgot to put in no wobble in the poll, its my fault but I dont know if I can change it anyone know?

without a "no wobble" choice, then all the ones that didn't choose anything are the one's without the wobble.....

 

:think:

 

(hmmmm ... wonder how many there are?????)

I have never had a wooble on my 83 or 84 other than when I had a bad front tire. Once replaced it was fine.

Just wondering if any 2nd generation owners are experiencing wobble. I'm riding a 2005 Venture and I'm getting wobble between 40-45 mph. Im hoping with a tire change it will go away.

Not near as common but does happen. Most likely a new front tire will solve it but it is also very possible that your head bearings are just a bit loose.

Yeah Don, the bearings in my head have been loose for quite some time.
