First of all hello to everyone, I haven't been by here in a LONG time. Well I have been hit with the dreaded mystery shake wobble vibration bumpy ride issue. I just relocated from PR to Texas and before my bike was shipped and stored it rode fine except for a recently 2nd gear issue, but I know exactly what it takes to fix that and it never affected how the bike rides. Just to make sure I mention every detail possible, when the bike arrived the front tire was completely flat and could have been that way since I dropped it off for shipping. After airing the tire I rode it and immediately felt a shake of sort (left to right in the bars) and an even more noticeable bumpy feeling, as if the tire was not completely round. I have been out of town for a week but will return home to start working on it tommorrow. I did take it to a local bike shop just to check for propr tire balancing, the added the correct amount of Dynabeads.... I know I know, some people swear by them others think they are snake oil. Anyway there was absolutely no change. I also lifted each end of the bike and checked for true spinning of both wheels and didn't see any irregularities. No left to right wobble or up and down. They both spun freely and straight, also the issue stays constant whether accelerating or braking so I really doubt its a warped disc........ So my next step will be the most common issues, check and adjust my steering head nuts, and replace if necessary, wheel bearings, and cush drive bushings. ... any suggestions that might save me some time and/or money?
