Well I changed the front motor mount and bike runs great takes off perfect and everything (as of two/three weeks now) now I have a wobble.....
So I checked the tires look good, belt has a 1/4 inch of side move that i can move it and I saw on the rear wheel this little zig zag washer? moveing on the axle...so I figure its that..Any ideas? Bearings?

Did you torque the axle nuts or just tighten them as much as you could ???

IMHO, check you wheel bearings !!!

The rear axle's I want to say we tightened with a torq wrench set at 50-55 I want to say (Honestly cant remember took the wheels off to swap tires a good while now)

I am going to probably have my uncle help me pick up my bike and not ride it home (Ive ridden without brakes and a flat for a bit before this feels odder) so wont chance it.

put it on the back of the truck and ended up going out to work on a buddys car called the dealership 12.50 per bearing...:/

Will bring it off the truck today since I dont work tomorrow and will check it out on a stand.
