What's causing this Wobble while braking?

[BajaRon]

:agree: A mouthful of Truth! Stupid can sometimes be improved, but oblong tires will never B round! :thumbup:..Bill

I agree. Stupid can actually be fixed. It's just a saying that it can't. But Kendas? Not going to happen

First things first, get an alignment then go conspiratorial.

I think all Spyder,s have some slack 1/4 to 1/2 inch ( at the handlebars ) in the steering mechanism. If you completely remove your hands from the bars, ( I have done this ) if the alignment is good the wheels/tires will track straight but the bars will shake a very small amount ..... Mike :thumbup:

we will see when i get the new Quatracs on next week.. time will tell..

got quadtracs mounted this am. and balanced.. very little tire weights comparded to OEM tires.. also shop used black weights.. like the looks. but not a good day to test them out, raining for 4 days straight.. cant wait to test them..

Fred alignment should NOT have anything to do with " amount of steering play " ..... the way the steering connection is made is why there is some play in it..... JMHO .... Mike :thumbup:

Sounds like a WARPED BRAKE ROTOR

Just reading through this. All the Kenda hate, sheesh! I’ll reiterate, ive owned two late model Bombardier products both shod with Kenda tires (Ryker, RTL Spyder). No problems with tires. As for the OP here, I liked the lug nut suggestion but, I’ll bet it's a balance issue with one of the front tires, which the OP probably won't check since he has two new dark side tires to install; yet if it was mine, I’d go back to the dealer for a few checks before buying new hoops. That said, the dealer I used for both purchases wouldn’t let a motorcycle or a trike go out the front door with the aforementioned problem.

In my case on my '17 RTL it was a tie rod/ball joint. It had been at the dealership for a month before they picked it up (in their words "the computer says everything is ok"). They really dont like hard ABS inducing braking (where the rear wheel gets airborn) at hi speed. If you've had one of these episodes chances are you damaged something in the front end. Go for a warranty check.

I had the same problem on our 2022 RTL. Front brake rotor was warped at 2800 miles. Can AM wouldnt warranty said expendable part. I bought new EBC rotors, install myself problem solved.

IMHO .... in your case they absolutely should have ..... Question - did you notice the WOBBLE when you first got the Spyder ????? ..... Mike :thumbup:
