Front end wobble at 45-50 MPH
Hey all,
I have a strange front end wobble/shake when I'm riding at 45-50 MPH in 3rd gear only. I don't really feel it so much when I have both hands on the handlebars, but when I ride with one hand up, it wobbles and shakes a fair amount, and its only at that speed in that RPM range in that gear. Does anyone know what it could possibly be? The bike is still under warranty, so I might just bring it in soon, but I figured I'd ask you guys and maybe I can save myself the headache of having other people work on my bike and having to wait forever and a day for it. Thanks all..
Cheers,
Adrian

RE: Front end wobble at 45-50 MPH
Could be the whole steering washer/nut kit deal there was a Service Bulletin for. Did you check that out? It was the one for the front end clunk, but I believe it was to fix wobbles, looseness, shakiness (like all those made up words? 
), and such. Might be something to look into. I'll see if I can find it, then post it, and PM ya...
