690 Enduro Handlebar Wobble
Had my 690 for a couple of years now, rode it through Spaini to Morocco for 3 weeks and apart from the lack of protection at motorway speeds and the uncomfortable seat, the bike has been fantastic!
However! Since I have been back, it has developed a wobble through the handlebar at speeds over 65/70mph. It is not a vibration, but a wobble, most noticeable when accelerating and the front end is light or just by exceeding 70mph. The faster I go the worse it gets, beginning with a slow wobble, getting increasingly worse if I don't back off the throttle and weight the front end of the bike up. This issue was not there before putting 4500mile on her on my Morocco trip.
I have checked the following:
- Front tyre pressure, OK
- Front wheel balancing, OK
- Front wheel bearing, OK
- Head bearings, OK
- Rear tyre was badly worn, so I have replaced/balanced that, OK
I am now at a loss of where to go next. It is unrideable over 70mph.
Has anybody suffered a similar thing?
Any ideas would be appreciated!?!?!
