    Query Approved

    Not clear what you mean by zig zag! Do you mean to say that the wheels are wobbling?
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

        So i thought the wheel alignment got some problem and that’s y it got zigzag movement while riding.

        So i have went to service center and checked the issue. But they are telling its correctly aligned and there is no problem.

        So i feel like bike got puncher while riding, and that’s y i feel like its moving zigzag like. So i went to check the tire for pressure and its not that much low.

        But still i face this issue while im riding. But not continuously, some times..Especialy on slowly riding...

        Can u help me out what will cause for this??

        Release full air from the tyre by removing the main valve pin. After full deflat put the valve back in the socket. Then take one paint bursh and a mixture of liquid soap and water, then brush it on the edge of tyre seat and edge of rim. For brushing the liquid u will ahve to press the tyre by hand. Then inflate the tyre till to 50-60. Take one dry cloth and remove the extra soap water from the tyre seat. Then check the given tyre margin line or the seat and the edge of rim for proper fitting. The distance between tyre seat line and rim edge should come app. with same distance. If it is correct then deflat the tyre till the regular pressure like 28 to 30. Then ride it n let us know.

        Please Note:- If both the tyres are fitted wrong way (misaligned) then use the above procedure for both the tyres. The soap water helps to slip the tyre on the rim edge and fits in proper postion. U will notice the change for sure.

            Check out the front suspension.......the problem may b the forks/unequal spring length due 2 weak springs........
