HONDA VT700C FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE

[Leo4star]

I have an 84 Honda VT700C, that suffers with a slight front end wheel wobble between 10-20mph. Have changed the front forks old ones were pitted new seals and new hagon suspension at the back. Trike is 280kgs in weight, whats the best tyre pressure front and back. Would a rear tyre on the front help the problem.

every trike is different on tyre presure so its trial and error till u find the right presure so put the max in thats recomended to the tyres u have then try it and leave some out till u find whats right for it
can u pop along to new mambers and say hello so people can welcome u to the site

It's because your geometry is wrong at the front try lowering the pressure in your tyres a bit at a time till it gets better you will probably still have a wobble but you should be able to get it acceptable . Most bike converted trikes suffer with this problem the only way to eliminate it is to buy off set yokes or a leading link front end

Also check your steer head bearings for play but don't be tempted to over tighten them to stiffen the steering up it will wear the bearings out quickly .
