Thread: Ever feel like your front end is tweaked?

One was the oil screen cover on the bottom of the engine. Tightening the bolts fixed that. The other was a leak from the rear valve rocker box cover, left side. I power washed the oil off the engine so I could see better where it was coming from. It hasn't leaked since. Works for me. _________________ You never see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychiatrists office except for Taser '03 Volusia w/90 drive

Oh and the oil leaks.....Did ya get 'em fixed? What'd it take if ya did......? _________________

Mr. Suzuki did that to the Vol/C50, so that eventually the buyer will feel crooked and go buy a C90.

Could be your frame is tweaked. Which is not as unusual as you might think. The shop where I had my frame straightened has a mobile alignment rack that they take to the race tracks. for $20 or so they give you your frame alignment specs. when I had my frame straightened, they had quoted a higher price as they thought it was bent too far to bend without heating or re-welding. When they called me they told me it bent back no problem and the...

Is your rear wheel aligned? If it is off you will have the front wheel turned slightly and be going straight. My other question is: When did you stop taking your meds? Before this or after? _________________ 2007 V Star 1100 Silverado ~D's Qlink Legacy 250 automatic

There are two large round rubber pads under the tank on the frame that fall off easily when you take off the tank...did you lose one? That might account for iyt. _________________ -> Get Your Ride Bells Here <- -> Check out my blog! www.ednelson.us/blog <-

by your statement..... "but when I get this sensation I can look down at the top tree and actually see that it is turned slightly to the right" ...do you mean you have your handlebars STRAIGHT and the triple tree appears to be turned to the right a bit? how about when you're triple tree is STRAIGHT across...do the handlebars look uneven now?? if so, that's not your front end out of whack...it's your...

^^^^ Samething here. I could swear that my handle bars were misaligned....let go of the handle bars and sure enough, the bike would track to the right. Had a buddy tell me I sit twisted to the left...just a tad. Fixed the problem, I think it's because of my wallet being in my right back pocket...dunno. _________________ "Life is hard!

I have had the same feelingand I may have posted this answer to your original question, I always thought my last 3 suzukis had the exact same problem, I had friends ride them, we took measurements of handlebars to ground etc, check wheels and nothing but the odd feeling persisted, until one day my buddy says I ride crooked!? Turns out I have a slightly bent pelvis that causes me to have a slight turn to the right which I cant notice but is...

I had this problem after installing risers and it took 2 different times tweaking before I was satisfied. It is definitely possible. _________________ Naked Jugs Rock!! 2004 Volusia
