    Handle Bar Issues while braking

    I own a 2017 Duke 250, From the past few months, I am facing issues with the handlebar , when I apply the brakes at around 40-50kmph. the handle bar wobbles a bit and the front tyre moves a bit to the right. Any help on how to get this problem solved.
    Can it be a issue with the tyres? Did 21k kms and still have the stock tyres. Revz-c1 for front and rear as well

    Thanks,
    Sam Edward

    Topic Approved.

    Are you sure the front suspension is not unevenly setup...? Like difference between left & right forks.

    Check the tyre lining, is it misbalanced, i.e. not in line with the alloy wheel?

    Lastly, check if the tyre wear is uneven i.e. more worn out on the right of the tyre, compared to left, or vice versa?


    First find out this, then we'll take it further...

      the front suspension is doing fine and there is no difference between the setup of both the forks.

      Could not make out whether my alloy wheel is misbalanced or not, will get them checked in a day.

      Lastly, checked both the tyres for wear and it seemed to be even too.

      P.S-This problem started happening after a small crash, (Handle Bar, T, were replaced after this crash)

          Thanks for the suggestions, the problem has now been resolved

          Issue was with the rear tyre and 4 rubber rings present underneath the handlebar. Replaced the rear tyre with Michellin Street Pilot and got the rubber rings replaced.
