Hey there.. I have a 200s and the handle bars are slightly bent. Would this cause the front to "wobble" going at speeds above 10 MPH or so? Forks look real straight. Front tire has a slow leak, but looks sound as well.. Thanks in advance..

look at your steering stem bearings to see if there loose, get the front tire off the ground and pull up and push down on the forks, and go side to side, see if you feel any play. if you do you need to adjust the bearing load. I also had a front tire that was out of round and making my bike wobble. but i would bet on the steering stem bearings being loose.

Dammnit..I have the old split rims on the rear, and i took it to the dealer to get some tubes put in. He wont touch it at all. Probably warped rear it appears. Why is nothing ever easy man....i need 2 not split rear 22x11x8 rims. With tires would be great.

I would say that it is the front tire beeing outa round. Try putting it up on a lift and try spinning the front tire to to see if that's it. Mine is the same way when I ride it down the road

The day begins with 3WW
if the handlebars are bent...it got flipped or hit something obviously
lay a straight edge of some sort like a level against the upper part of the forks on each side....if the straightedge is parallel with the fork tubes, they are straight and that isn`t yer problem
my S did the same thing and it ended up being bent forks...the first time
after fixing the forks, it quit wobbling.....then I gashed up the front tire, I put another on and it started wobbling again...it was cheap tire that ended up being out of round that time
changed the tire and it was fine again
