You just never know almost like a lose wheel but it's tight
Hi Donald:
First basic questions
- Tire pressure correct?
- Tire condition?
- When does this happen? Cornering? - shock setup?
- Load?
- Speed?
Any info you can give will help to find the problem.
If you reply as a comment to this post I'll receive it.
Cheers.
Testimonial: "Tire pressure 41 lbs tires have approx 3000 miles like new. Rear suspension set at26lbs. 35to 40 mph just going down the road almost like you drove over something slippery is how it feels. I checked tire no bubbles or signs that a cord would be broken . The wheel is tight and correctly mounted running true no odd where on the tire tread it almost feels like the swing arm flexes ."
That would be where I'd be looking next.
2003, How many miles?
Have you owned it since new?
Maintenance history?
It's possible that swing arm bushings need maintenance.
If you have a bike hoist available it's way easier to observe.
It can get tricky to secure the bike so it can't fall and still be able to jack it so the rear wheel is off the ground. Then you get to play detective/mechanic and try to find any places that have play where it should not be.
My bikes are off the road now as it's winter and too cold to be cool.
