My bike is now developing a weird high speed wobble issue.
Never happen before this even with pannier and topbox. Now it wobbles above 160 with pannier and above 180 with no pannier and no topbox. Trying to pinpoint the issue. Changed the rear tyre bearings since there's some slight grinding when I feel it by hand. Still wobble. ![]() Changed front tyre bearings and seal since it's been 50k km. Still wobble ![]() New bearings is a bit dry. Added more lithium grease to it. ![]() Still wobble. ![]() Checked and cleaned the fork seals. Still wobble. Next gonna change the steering cone / head bearings. Some slight grinding. If that doesn't work then will change the front tyre. Rear tyre is still new. |

QUOTE(Patent @ Sep 19 2025, 07:41 PM) yeah that was the first thing i did.still wobbled. even changed the rear tyre to my old tyre, rebalanced since that was the last thing i did before noticing it wobbles. still wobble. haha. i'm guessing it's the steering head bearing or the front tyre. and since the bearing is much cheaper than the tyre that will be next to renew. |

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Sep 22 2025, 11:26 AM) yeah probably its the tyre.i notice the wobbling is more pronounced when front tyre has lower pressure. if i pump it to 36-38 psi the wobbling is reduced compared to lower pressure like 33psi. but lifting the front wheel and twisting the handlebars i feel there a slight grinding at the center position. suggesting the steering head bearing is shot anyways |

QUOTE(paskal @ Sep 22 2025, 07:36 PM) yeah probably its the tyre. Headbearing issues will usually be felt as a change in turn in effort, either too fast, or binding...or uneven effort in different steering angles. Wobble issues usually are due to the tyre, suspension, alignment or a weight distribution problem.i notice the wobbling is more pronounced when front tyre has lower pressure. if i pump it to 36-38 psi the wobbling is reduced compared to lower pressure like 33psi. but lifting the front wheel and twisting the handlebars i feel there a slight grinding at the center position. suggesting the steering head bearing is shot anyways |

QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 26 2025, 08:16 AM) high speed wobble usually not bearings forks are adjustable. changing the compression and rebound settings doesn't solve the wobbling.Honda experimented with it in the 70's, it's a combination of bike geometry, damping, aero and weight distribution can you try shifting your weight while wobbling, and see if it makes a difference? in my experience 1. tyre (squared) - pressure will affect a bit 2. compression damping (forks) - if your forks are non-adjustable, try changing the preload and rebound damping and assess the difference i've removed the panniers and topbox and wobbling reduced, but still wobble. |

update on my wobbling issue.
![]() i've removed the entire front end. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « installed everything back. still wobble bwahahahahahhaa in fact it wobbled even more ahahaha i followed guides on youtube for dirt bike and they tightened the triple clamp too loosely and the handlebar is really loose. i tighten it just so that it doesn't have any vibration. no gap, but no bite. bike felt really light, really maneuverable, like i'm on a tracer 9gt but felt kindda weird. so i opened everything back and tighten it more to add a bit more resistance. still wobble. must be the tyres. ![]() so i ordered new tyres. |
