Front forks /wobbly steering

<< < (4/6) > >>

ricardo:
Bikers thanks.
No the steering doesn't vibrate or shudder. It feels as if the steering is imprecise. I seem to have to always be turning the bars  to keep the bike on a straight line. Probably more noticeable while on a bend
On another bike I once had with excellent steering it behaved like this  when my front tyre was below pressure
Does that mean anything different.?

Bryanj:
How old and what type is the tyre? Has this happened suddenly or always been there? Have you altered or adjusted anything recently?

ricardo:
hi. thanks for reply. Apologies for late response.

It was there when I drove the bike away. I thought tyre might have been a bit flat. it was a little. Toppoed air up and it helped somewhat. I have been doing other stuff since but all suggested investigations have not resulted in a solution. Tyre and wheel off so I;ll look at tyre and let you know.

ricardo:
tyre is 'hent (or Heng) sinh

Lettering a bit weird.
Tyre in good condition but the 2 parallel lines near the edge of the tyre seems a bit off centre. A clear gap between the inner one and the rim but not visible gap on the opposite side of the tyre.
Ive made no adjustments
Ricardo

hairygit:
Well you may have found your problem, the tyre is not mounted correctly! Deflate the tyre completely, and push the beading in the rim a bit. Smear tyre soap or similar around the inside of the rim walls/along the tyre bead, and re inflate until the tyre bead sits evenly around the rim, then adjust to the correct pressure and go for a test ride. If no improvement,get the tyre changed, it's probably knackered.
