Hi guys,

can you test your bikes to see whether this phenomenon occurs.

This is not high speed wobble or tank slap.

It happens when the bike is decelerating @ low speed, like below 60kmh.

You have to take your hands off the handle bar to check, if you are holding it, you might not feel it.

It happens only at a certain speed range, sometimes very narrow range.



Ive tested the kapchai on flat smooth road.

It happens around +- 50kmh during decelaration.

Videos below are some examples


Kapchai..



tracer..

happened to my old Z250. happens 80kmh and below

there could be many possible reasons.

cone bearing, wheel bearing, balancing, wheel bent, uneven tire wear etc. hell, could even be the tire itself isnt balanced well from factory.

in my case, i suspect its the tire. didnt have it with the previous tire. once i changed tire, i started having that issue after awhile. i even re-sent for balancing but it was perfect.

i even changed my cone bearing (which was worn anyway). and it still remained.

didt manage to try with new tire as i traded in the bike before i could do that.

i read all those comment of those vids,

many possibilities just like you mentioned.


i believe many dont realize this 'issue' esp those that dont cruise at slow speeds, only when they let go of the bars...
