mastermechanic Posted September 26, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2008 I've been having a problem with my '99 Venture wandering or darting side to side when hitting uneven roads or bumps. Yamaha checked the suspension and said it looked ok. I still feel something is going on. Any advice on what could be checked to diagnosis what could be happening? How do you check the front forks for problems besides leaks. Is there a way to check the spring tension from side to side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteSquid Posted September 26, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 26, 2008 Have you checked your tire pressure and tire wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbitybob Posted September 26, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 26, 2008 Mine did the same thing until I tightened up the steering head. There is a tutorial in the 2nd Gen Tech area for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V7Goose Posted September 26, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 26, 2008 Most likely cause is your rear tire. You didn't state brand, size or condition of your tires. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted September 26, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 26, 2008 All good ideas...and maybe check and see that the fork pressures are the same for each ...no more than 7lbs. and equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
