check ur chasis if you have'nt done tht.....
might be nt in shape due to the accident u had.........

He's changed the chassis after the accident according to his query post..
The ball-race kit can lead to steering head vibes etc. It would be accompanied by some rattling i suppose.

Try this out :
Park the bike on the centre stand and ensure that the front wheel is off the ground. Then, let the handle fall to either side lock-to-lock and see if it moves freely till it hits lock.
Sluggish movement indicates tight steering head clamp adjustment &/or worn out head bearings..

Cheers..!!

Check what Maverick said. If needed replace them. Also change the ball races kit. Your problem will be completely solved. The culprit will not be anything other than above, because you are getting the wobbling at only certain speeds.

My bike too needs attention. The front wheel woobles slightly when I hit pot holes. When I start and go again, it goes without any problem.

My CBZ used to wobble because of tyre rims being in a bad shape (hitting potholes and bumps at high speed

). Got it fixed by talling the rims. But that should not be the case for you, I guess.

@DEEP:for problem one check the mounting bolts of your engine with the chasis and about the gear hardening your clutch plates are worn out bro or may be adjusting the clutch cable will solve the problem.

, i can notice tht my handle bar is slightly bent on right side (NEW handle bar) and center stand is also not steady,bike tilts a bit on center stand. how i can i fix

Lolz! I have the same problem. This is certainly not because of ball races kit. It may be because of a bent T-stem. Mate, if you get any solution for this please let me know. I too will let you know if I get a solution.

Ball races kit would cost around 180 bucks only. Labor charges extra. Do change the ball races kit, it will make the difference. Regarding the bent handle, it will not be corrected by replacing ball races kit.

Hi guys...I also fell from my karizma twice...Though I have got my bike after doing all cosmetic changes,I dont feel the bike is well aligned as before...i have taken her 2 the showroom more than 3 times...the mechanic says that he HAD ALREADY CHECKED OUT THE FORKS AND THEY ARE STRAIGHT....I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WTH IT.....I FEEL SOMEWER THERE IS SOME MINOR TWEAKS 2 B DONE....I GET THE FEELING AS IF THE FRONT AND THE REAR WHEELS ARE NOT ALIGHNED...Wat might b d pblm...plz advise.....

the mech has overtightened the screws where the forks are connected 2 the swing arm.will it cause a problem...?????is there a chance of chasis bent....????cant i get my bike as it was when new...???m really worried..plz advise....

Check the front alloy for any bend. Even slightest unnoticeable bend is enought to cause unstability. Also, do wheel balancing for the alloys.

**biker_abhi** · 01-07-2009, 10:02 PM

my mechanic said....alloys will raek but never get bent....wat is wheel balancing...?????

if the fork scews on the swing arm are tightened very tightly,then will it cause a problem...???

There are weights on the alloy (silver color) which balances the weight of the alloy while in rotation. Displacment of them could lead to minor wobbling of the wheel. This procedure is a must for cars at every 5000 km.

I do not think overtightening the screws of swing arm is any problem.

I still cannot understand exactly what is your problem. Tell me how your bike handles.

Ravi, I believe you should also tell him how you got your problem rectified

**biker_abhi** · 01-08-2009, 01:05 PM

Bike handles as usual....but while bending to the right...it handles better than while bending left..mech said...its bcoz disc break is on right side,it will obviosly handle better that side...hooh...!!!!!

Leave that,what i feel now is that the handle is straight....but the bike is tilted to one side while riding...very feeble...but i can feel it after riding for more than 2 kms...it gives me a little bit of back pain....i dont get the confidence in gettin over 100 as previosly....

worst part is that one expert told me that there is little chance that ur bie will b completely normal as bfore....he said even a micron(1/1000mm) bent can be felt...cannot b removed also...we hav 2 live with it....

m worried 4 ths....

@Ravi....is ths true...if that is true...thn y do ppl go 4 Karizma....yuck!!!!just fallling on one side can alter the whole dynamism of the bike.....

..shit....

saddest part is...i have already claimed 4 insurance 4 other parts...nw i have to spend 4m my pocket if i have 2 replace the chasis...

Plz help me guys....wat sud b done...i need ur comments and advise....

While riding leave the hands and check if the bike is going straight. Then, no problem at all with chasis. Chasis will not get affected for small falls. In general, left side cornering is much better than right side cornering.

Do the above checks what I suggested. Check for any slight bend in rims, check for ball races kit (cone set), check for any bent T-stem, also forks, and even the wheel balancing.

Also, try test riding a new karizma and compare, then you will no the difference.

Another factor is tyre. Check for uneven wearout of tyres.

I also want to know, is your bike handles very bad that you cannot tolerate? In general if the bike falls (remember the bike is 150 kg) there are chances of structural changes. If they are very minor, you can live with them. Also, do you have any major impact to the bike?
