tooldood Posted May 25 Share #1 Posted May 25 It has been about 2 and a half weeks since I opted to hit the ditch instead of the car that was stopped facing me. My bike is at a local repair shop as the nearest Yamaha dealer is 45 miles away. The mechanic there said that it is good except for a good front end wobble when you take your hands off the bars. With my shattered collarbone, I can't ride it to see just how bad it is, so... can the collective brain power suggest what it may be? I did hit the ditch pretty hard before it threw me off.

I am wondering if your front rim is slightly tweaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvmy40 Posted May 25 Share #4 Posted May 25 When my son ditch his Maxim 750 at low speed, the fork tubes bent enough to cause misalignment. We just replaced the entire triple tree assembly for belt and suspenders insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted May 25 Share #5 Posted May 25 It could be as simple as having the steering head bearings a little to loose. Adjustments are made in 32nd inch increments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasta Burner Posted May 25 Share #6 Posted May 25 First thought is thrown wheel weight, second bent rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
