    Vibration In Front End

    I seem to get a shake in the front end only when at slow speed and trying to initate a sharper turn. Anyone know what cou ld be the problem. I only notice it when trying to make a turn.

    Thanks Johnycon

    1. Tire pressure
    2. Tire condition
    3. Wheel attach hardware. Axle, Brakes, etc...Make sure everything is tight
    4. Maybe the wheel bearings. How many miles ?

    After that I would start to look at the Forks/oil level & Steering head bearings.

    Good luck & let us know...

      I'd agree with Dave. A new balanced tire on the front corrected 90% of my front end wiggle.

        Slow speed turn "shake" could be all as stated above however, could also be worn/damaged steering head bearings or steering head bearing torque setting, cheers.
