  • Pulsar 220 Handling problem

    I have an almost new Pulsar220F with 1100kms done. Since the last 2 weeks or so I am feeling my bike wobble a bit. The wobbling is not a lot, and doesn't happen always. It is usually more pronounced on roads that are not even. Also I felt the wobbling a bit more when there was some cross wind.

    However the wobbling is definitely very bothering, since you loose some confidence on the handling at higher speeds.

    Suspecting a tyre pressure loss, I also got that verified. That is not an issue.

    What else could be the problem. At first service I also asked the mechanic to check if he felt the wobbling as I was not completely sure at that point and it had just started. But he said the handling is perfect.

    But I am feeling the difference in handling as compared to when I got the bike from the showroom and the couple of weeks that followed.

    What could be the issue?

      check for any wheel alignment issues
      Its the fusion of a two wheeled machine & a human being which creates a true biker.

          Thanks Guys.

          Update: Here is what did the trick - The bike was probably starving on fuel, feeling breathless - got the tuning adjusted a bit. That also did away with the handling problem.
