First check the tire-pressure, then the fork oil; see if the wheel has a loose bearing play.

When applying brakes - I get a wheel wobble, o.k. when driving normally no wheel wobble. had realignment done about 4 months ago. also when driving on rough or uneven road surface seems like my shock...

it could be the shocks but due to wheel wobble i would say its more to do with worn bushings on the suspension arms etc.... best way to check is to jack up each front corner of the car at a time and shake the wheel see if it has movement side to side or front to rear if so i would reccomend getting it looked at or replacing the bushings :) hoep this helps

The bike has developed a vibration going straight and wobbles slightly in turns. Any thoughts?

FirSt check tyre pressures, check security of wheels, including bearings, give the wheels a wobble from left to right, check condition of built up wheels like spokes, bolts etc any exsesive loose items must be rectified befre use, check the motorcycles drive system for wear and securit

1984 Goldwing Aspencade wobbles when I slow down to make a turn about 10mph

Hi,
Most wobbling at lower speeds are from worn wheel bearings, tires out of balance, or a bent rim. Place the bike up on the center stand (if you have one) and have someone hold the handlebars in place while you move the wheel side to side. If you can feel movement, the wheel bearings are bad. If no movement is felt, rotate the tire and watch for wobbling. Make note if the rim appears to wobble at the same time the tire does. Do the same procedure for the rear wheel as well...If you have further questions, feel free to ask...hope this helps

Yamaha Vmax 1998

Hi,
A skakey front end can usually be attributed to one of four issues. Wheel bearings, warped rotor(s), bent rim, or bad tire.
To check for bearing wear, put the bike on it's center stand, or a bike jack, and have someone hold the handle bars while you try to move the wheel side to side. If you can feel excess movement, replace the wheel bearings.
Next spin the wheel and watch the rim, tire, and rotors for uneven rotation or wobbling.
Hope this helps

Front wheel wobbles

More than likely the wheel is out of true. There are 2 choices,

1 Buy a spoke wrench and attemp to true the wheel. You can do this by spinning the wheel to locate the spot where the wheel goes furthest to one side then tighten the spoke coming from the opposite side. Do this slowly 1/2 turn at a time. Do not over tighten the spoke. It may be necessary to loosen the other side slightly.

Alternate spokes between both sides of wobble.

2 Take bike to a good local bike shop to be tuned and have the wheels trued. Most shops offer a tune up at low cost. A well tuned bike will last a long time.

Vibration in handlebars/forks??

Hi,
Front end vibration can be caused by front rim/tire out of balance, worn wheel bearing(s), bent front rim, or fork misalignment.
Since you recently had fork work done, I would first check the forks for proper alignment, then have the bike on a stand and spin the wheel to see if there is wobbling. To check for bearing wear, while the front is off the ground, try to rock the wheel from side to side. If you can feel or see movement, you will need new bearings.
Hope this helps
