  • Problem with Back Wheel

    Yo Guys,

    When I ride may bike on a speed above 65 Kmph I feel like the back wheel has some movement side ways. As if like its not fixed tight, so bike has a shaky movement. I checked the air pressure and is fine. I Kept Bike on the center stand and checked the back wheel its perfectly fine . I roatated it tried moving it side ways everything seems to be fine and normal. Sometimes when i apply back break then also it has a skiding tendency but this doen'st happen always . So you guys out there any thoughts on this..... I feel it very badly when I reach speed above
    65 kmph.

    Seems to be a wierd problem....huh
    Mine is a CBZ - Xtrme 2009 model

      Get the swing arm bushes and the wheel bearings checked. My bike too faced the same issue. I found out later that the swing arm bushes had worn out and the whole swingarm had sideways play. You can check the bushes by this method:
      1. park the bike on center stand.
      2. make sure the rear wheel is above the ground.
      3. hold the swingarm and try to see if it moves sideways.
      If it does move even slightly then the bushes have worn out a bit. get them changed for a stable ride.

        Thanks a bunch for your Reply. I followed the steps u asked to do. But I didn't feel any movement. Any way I'll take him to a mechanic and Check the Swing.

          @maveric: The next thing to check is the wheel bearings. May be their worn out, have your bike checked by a goood mech, he'll be able to help u better with your problem, Good Luck!
