wtf? steering wheel?
Handlebars?????
Tire balance!!!!!
Buy American! Unless your only option is a HARLEY.
A customer walked in to my shop and Impatiently stated "My car doesnt start, Whats the problem?"I responded with a smile-"Yep that sounds like your problem alright"----
bad bearings or a warped rim
hahaha are you a door knob? wheelers don't have steering wheels, that would be dumb. it is dumb to even think of steering wheels and wheelers bahahaha. and obviously your problem is warped rim, bearings, or balance or wrong tire pressure, not that you balance 3 wheeler tires but yea. good luck with steering wheels bud!

well fu_k you and the horse u rode in onOriginally Posted by theonlyjosh
and to everyone that's perfect get the d_ck out your mouth...it's time to grow up...stick that in ya pipe and smoke it...
Hey Mate.
Sounds to me like your front wheel bearings are trashed. I had the same problem with my trike.
I saw your atc500 over at .org. What a awesome trike, I bet she rips!!!!
Gasmask... I have seen several things contribute to that. One being the bearings. Also seen bent front axle,steering stem bearings, bent forks, bent wheel, or even just a worn or unbalanced tire. Forks, axle, and bearings are easy to check out. Good luck, hope you get it sorted out.
2007 YAMAHA YTZ450 went to a great home RIP Sam
Gasmask...I get high speed wobbles alot on my streetbike and its caused by a powerful motor pulling weight off the front end, transfering it to the rear and when the weight shifts back to the front and your front tire isn't perfectly straight it will start to high speed wobble. The worst thing you can do is try to correct it. Loosen up your grip on the bars and let it correct itself. Its a freaky feeling the first few times it happens. I've never seen this happen on a trike but I'm sue its possible with your setup.
thanks for the help. i know that my tire is alittle shot. i'll put the knobby tire on and see if it's still there...thanks again...
