      Check these:

      1. Check if tyre is worn out
      2. Alloy/rim alignment
      3. Wobbling disk can be the culprit; check it!
      4. Try reinstalling the front tyre (sometimes it does help really)

          Might be the tyre bead

          Also do chck whether the bead of the tire is sitting on the rim uniformly?One quick way to do this is to look for the Mould line on the tyre and follow it round the rim. It should remain at similar distance from the rim's edge thruout the circumference

            I meant confirm that your disc is in shape or not.. It'll matter even if it's slightly bent..

                This happened with me as well! I'd recommend you to get the T-cone bearings checked! Usually they are the culprit..

                  possible suspects -

                  - misaligned/ unbalanced rim

                  - front suspension - Im guessing one of your shock absorbers is damping lesser than the other. get the front forks checked, change oil seals, and fill equal amounts of oil in both forks ( if there is a leak, but anyhow it will be changed only ) . Generally that will also cause the front to waiver.

                  - Check front hub bearings. make sure they are not cut/worn out.

                      yes it does go to a good reputed local mechanic in your city and then show it to him let me take a test ride and then he may fix it and get ur issues resolved

                        ^^ it should be uncomfortable to ride, and keeping a straight line would be difficult.

                              I also have the same problem on my thunder bird... I found out that the swing arm bush is gone... After changing it I am not having any problem..... The reason might be movement of the back wheel and the allignment of the wheels........
