Hey guys
Not sure if u can help me with this as it seems a lil weird.....but here goes.

Left the house today on the bike....pulled into the street and immediately somethin didn't feel right. I haven't had a flat yet and this is my first bike but that's what it felt like. Unstable and wobbly. I checked both tires tho and they are ok.

Was fine just yesterday....the only thing I did from then til now was put on the cobra ii headlight....but I don't see how swapping out the headlight could create a balance issue.

Any thoughts on this?

some bolts could have come loose? I put in a new headlight and mount, and it was rubbing up against my actual frame.

Not sure what year your bike is but try this for starters. Stand facing your bike with the front tire firmly between your legs. Grab the handle bars and attempt to twist, turn and move the front end. Your looking for any play in the area were the fork attaches to the frame. The bearing is known for going bad.

your front tire needs air.....

Not sure when the wobble starts but if at a slow speed you let go of the bars and it wobbles a little is a sign the front tire has a problem, wear, balance or low pressure. Check to see if a balance weight has come off.

Hey guys
Thnx for replies
The bike is 2013 with 1k miles.
I checked tires and they are good. Psi at 38 front...42 rear. Weights attached.
Everything is tight....no play in front end.

I don't really know how but I have to attribute this to the headlight and mount install. It just started doing this immediately after I put it on. Only way to know is to take headlight/mount off and go for a ride.

In the morn....

The mount was rubbing on the headtube....put on some spacers and remounted. Problem soved. U were right Nogard.
Thnx guys...headlight looks awesome.

Will be posting pics in the gallery of all mods soon. Just waiting on my seat.
