    Every bearing, seal etc on my 87 SX is new or perfect. And the forks anre also perfectly straight. The only thing I see is a larger front tire is on there now. There is no front brake to drag at all. Yet it wobbles like crazy and after reading some of these responses - I'm not sure what else to look for.

    Uh-Oh, big problems! Better go back to 250Rs and sell me all your goodies for the KXT!

    I ran mine up to 70 on a paved road. That was about all it had. It's got the stock gearing, tires, wheels, axle and swingarm. I did it next to a pickup with stock size tires to kind of guage top speed. I decided then that 70 on a paved road on a 3 wheeler is ridiculously stupid. It's out of it's element. I never noticed any headshake, front wheel wobble, or "tank slappers" i've heard some people experience. I know your a drag racer, but In my opinion, If your going to drag race a tecate on pavement, you need to think seriously about a steering damper and probably slick low profile rears (18x11-10 equivalent) and probably a smooth front tire.

    it has nothing to do with .org. it has to do with his attitude towords me in other threads. if i tell him what the problem is all he'll do is argue with me, tell me i don't know what i'm talking about, insult me and my family. so...he told me to shut up so i am.... i just mearly pointed out i know his problem

    Could you kindly email me at ATCThomas@TMLP.com and tell me what to look for with a front end wobble?? - I promise not to share but I need help fixing mine. The only problem with retaliation towards one person is that it affects ALL of us and not just that person. I thought the idea was to help each other on this board :?
