Wobble

I had the same problem.. Tire gauge was way off. Dealer checked and only had 6 to 8 lbs. in front tires. Aired up to right pressure, wobble gone. Also a new air gauge to check tires. Hope that is your problem..

[SUP]A little more info will help. If the spyder is new to you, try relaxing your grip on the bars a little. You may have been fighting the steering system. Next, road conditions can cause the front end to track wierd since it has 2 tires. Uneven pavement, road construction or those grooves they cut into the road play heck with the spyder. Good luck, Dave[/SUP]

With so little information provided it is hard to suggest anything.
- What kind of Spyder?
- Type of road?
- Miles on the machine?
- Does the wobble happen at the same speed each time?
- Can you make it happen?
- Any codes thrown?
- And many other questions.

Could be loose connections, lost wheel weights, bad belt in a tire, DPS problems, bent wheel or just inexperience on the highway.

If it is intermittent and the same speed each time, my guess would be a bad tire.
