I just reread a article from Bike Works Sept 06 on dresser wobble.
Daytec Center in Hesperia, CA did the work, I'll try to give a condensed rundown of what they found and what they did.
They worked on a 01 Dresser, it had a highspeed wobble starting at about 85mph, also in highspeed sweeping turns, it already had a Tru-Track stabilizer on the bike.
- First they put the bike on a level frame lift, I think it was made to do this work, got the bikes frame level.
- Some initial measurements were taken, to make sure the rear wheel was adjusted in the swingarm properly, it was very close.
- Removed mufflers, front and rear tire, rear shocks.
- They connected an adjustable rod from the frame to one of the brake caliper mounting holes on the forks and adjusted it to is was held
exactly straight with relation to the frame.
- They installed a new Daytec swing arm, the isolator bushings were pretty warn, so they were replaced when the swingarm was installed.
- the rear axle was installed and adjust as to where it would be correct with the swing arm if the wheel was on. Then an adjustable rod was attached
from the upper frame to the rear axle and adjusted to hold it at correct ride height as the shocks were removed.
- using a trammel they measured from the center of the rear axle to the center of the swing arm pivot points, this was adjusted to get the axle exactly
aligned in the swingarm.
- Then a longer trammel was used to check from the center of the rear axle to the center of the front axle, it was a 1/8 out.
- So since the rear axle was correct with the swingarm they needed to move the swingarm side to side, they removed the front motor mounting bolt, so
they could adjust the front motor stabilizer side to side, which will in turn moves the trans and swing arm side to side like a rudder.
- The stabilizer was adjusted until the tramels showed that the distance between the center points on the front and rear axle meassured exactly the
same on both sides, then locked down the stabilizer.
- Next the two bolts that hold the front motor mount were loosen so it could be realigned to match the change in the stabilizer. then the top bolt was
installed to the motor, then the two bottom bolts were tightened down.
- The motor vertical alignment was checked and adjusted but the top motor stabilizer.
- Then everything was reinstalled and taken for a ride.
It fixed the wobble, most people won't do this at home, but just thought I'd share a really condensed overview of this article. If you have a wobble, you should get you bike to a competent shop that can do this alignment.
I still thing that some type of stabilizer, or added bushings are needed to take out some of the slop in the rubber mounted swing arm, but I'd get the alignment checked if you having a serious wobble first.
