Low speed wobble that gets worse as it shakes

[dan filipi]

Mine would do that between 30-40 usually while slowing down and especially with a worn front tire below 1/2 tread. Surprisingly it's a fairly common problem.
Since I've put the new E3 up front no wobble. Was real bad with the old Pirelli.
On my list is to check the steering head bearing preload.

I used to experience that on my Standard. I could also feel a bit of a squirrely wobble when leaning into curves. New tire solved the problem.

id say the fork brace might be hurting you .....it souldnt be tighten till th weight is off the bike and wheel is up off the ground and on center stand loosen triple tree some to just snug fit ....tighten brace and then triple tree ....most likely this will make it better ...while doing this check streering bearing for smoothness ....pas that its tire change if already wore uneven and bent tubes or sloopy busching and seals ...or no oil in forks or oil in one and not the other ...rather big circle to get the rope around sometimes .....
