  • [Help]: Problems in my Bike

    Hi All,

    Don't know if this is the right place to ask this question and if not please let me know where to put up this question.
    I own a karizma which is not even 1 year old and a total of 5000KM,From last few days i have feeling a problem with my machine.

    When ever i ride that on a high speed (70+) I use to feel that its start bubbling especially the real wheel.
    it is not smooth in riding..and when applying break i use to feel that it kinda bubbling again(a kind of feeling that bike is about to skid)

    Lat point which i noted that some times bike start to tilt on one side i mean to say i use to feel that the weight is on the right side and its just dragging itself to right..

    do any one have ideas what it is..i even asked my service center person abt this but i guess they haven't came up with anything.



    Thanks in advance,
    Umesh

      Check tyre pressure. Check bearings.
      The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

          +1 ken cool.
          Check the alignment too... I suspect its the tyre pressure. As its happening only @ high Speed

            Go to a person who has expertise in tyres(alignment,rim problems, lining,etc)

            Peoblem can be any1 of them... my friend's unicron used to behave exactly the same way u mentioned.... his alignment and tyre itself was the problem... he had to change the tyre to get rid of it.

              Check your swingarm and swingarm bushes...!
              Most probably that is the cause...!

                The Correct word would be "wobbling". To put into a single post what everyone's saying.
                1. Tyre pressure
                2. Wheel alignment
                3. Bearings
                4. Damaged Tyres/Rims
                5. Swing arms/bushes
                and I would add
                6. Wheel balance. At least in cars, it starts to wobble at certain speed when wheel balance are off. Note, its NOT the same as wheel alignment.
