CB750F1 wheel alignment.

<< < (2/2)

Skoti:
I dismantled the front end to check the fork stanchions and yokes for damage, all seem fine so I reassembled and checked the front - rear wheel alignment once more.

This time I used a lengths of angle iron instead of the metal tubing and guess what? the alignment checks out OK!

Sorry for wasting every bodies time with my nuisance posts.  :-[

Erling:
But you have still for a wobble to the right?

Skoti:
Due to snow there's not much chance to road test for wobble.

I've turned my attention to the front wheel now and notice a very slight imperfection where the rim weld joint is.

The wheel runs true when spun up but you can detect a recces where the weld joint is on the right hand side of the rim which seems to transfer to the tyre by the way of a very slight kick.
It has an oversize tyre fitted (100.90-19) which I intend to replace with a 3.25-19.

The wobble only occurs when more weight is transferred to the front end as I'm riding down steep mountain passes through tight right hand bends with the throttle closed off.

   

 

Bryanj:
All rims have a "kick" where the rim is welded but if it is in good order the tyre should not kick

Skoti:
Thanks for that info regarding the wheel rim.

Just ordered a pair of Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 tyres 3.25-19/4.00-18 to replace Avon Roadriders which were prone to cracking between the tread pattern, so I will see if the Bridgestone tyres reduce the wobble problem.
