Front wobble
« on: April 10, 2015, 20:02:02 »
Hi,
Been out on the Veek over easter having a great time and really enjoying the bike but on the motorway at certain speeds the front end goes light and has a wobble just wondering if this is normal as it kind of of took me by suprise never had this on other bikes.
Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers
Kim

First step - check the pressure on both tyres, they might have lost some air.
Second step - rebalance the wheels (maybe not done well first time).
Third step - is your rear suspension adjusted wrong?
