Ok havent ridden my bike for a month now, not sure why... anyways last night: Riding my bike to a party, and the front wheel starts to wander left. then seconds later wanders right. I'm not doing anything, light on the bars, not like a death grip. I did do about 5 miles with death grip to maybe solve, nope, instead the bike feels jagged. Rough like the shakey camera angles in The Worlds Fastest Indian in Burts POV when he's rocketting down the Nevada road. On the way home, easy on the throttle and light on the bars... Nothing, couldnt make it do it again. So a light about 150 yards or so is red and has been for a while so I'm expecting it to change. So I sit up right with no hands on the bars, coasting. The bike is fine for a second then randomly cuts to the right and I almost fall off. Slices across the middle to the far right lane,3 either direction. I was on the inner most lane. WTF? Steering head bearings? Bad tire? Crowned roads? | ||

FBDO It sure sounds like road surface issue, go take a look at it in the day light, I would bet that there is surface transition in the pavement in those areas, or a change of some sort, SHB would be reproducable as would any other on bike problem My 0.02$ | ||

One issue I had like that was on an FJ1200, only did it when it was cold, turned out to be the grease in the head bearings was getting too thick on cold days. Cleaned & repacked, was fine. | ||

I had a nearly flat rear tire do that kind of thing on a cold day before. Got home it had eight pounds of air and a small nail in it. Felt all kinds of weird, but inconsistent. |
