Wobble
« on: August 15, 2011, 11:24:18 AM »
On my 2009 Ultra I have developed a front end wobble around 45-55 MPH. I might have lost a wheel weight. Will that cause the problem? No vibration just a wobble. Tire is in great condition.

Check the steering head bearings AKA fall away. Tightend mine up and fixed.

   Find a good shop that knows what they are doing and have the steering neck bearings checked.  Common problem on Road Glides.  Don't hear about it all that often on Electraglides.

When I had my front tire at 36 lbs (oops) I had BAD wobble, at 40 lbs it was not as bad, then had my steering head bearings snugged -- ALL GOOD
