I had a minor crash about 6 months back which resulted in the front disc getting bent. Repairs were all under insurance claim.
But ever since , there is a slight front wheel wobble if i let go of the steering after 60 kmph. Ive tried it on all kinds of roads and the problem persists .. Till now i had ignored this because it has never affected the actual handling of the bike even at high speeds.
But off late , even i i dont let go of the handle , there is a slight wobble at 100+ kmph .. I go for quite a few short rides out of the city and the last trip i went to was somewhere near kanakapura. I had a pillion who weighs close to 100kgs. This time the wheel wobble was significant.
So in short the symptoms are :
1) initially no wobble if i held on to the handle
2) slight wobble now at high speeds
3) significant wobble if there is a pillion
Cone set is in proper shape , tires are filled with nitrogen and always at recommended pressure.
I was suspecting that the impact that bent the front disc may have bent the forks slightly or even the rim. Why i say slightly is because at speeds below 60 kmph , there is no sign of any wobble with or without pillion !
The bike has always felt rock solid and planted at 100+ speeds but im afraid its not so now. I badly need to zero in on the problem and get it fixed. Any ideas ??



thanks though ..
