Front wheel balance?

Post by buyarbi »

I have an 02 350 bike . At about 90 mph the front wheel vibrates like it is out of balance. I have balanced the wheel a couple of times and the problem is still there. The tire appears to be fine ( no visible signs when rotating ) Any ideas?

My original front tire on my bike vibrated horribly at 90-95 mph. It did have a bad spot you could see when rotating the tire but not easily. Have never had another tire do it.

I was thinking bad tire as well. The other thought I have is front shocks but have never had a bike where shocks would do that.

Loose neck bearings will cause a wobble .
