I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but here it goes...

I believe the true determination of the wobble needs to happen at low speed and with the hands off. IOW, if you're moving at about 40mph and slowly let go of the grips, does it wobble? I wouldn't do it at higher speeds though...
I noticed that when I changed my stem bearings, there was nothing wrong with the bearings. Still, the tapered bearings are more stiff so there is that.
However, I noticed that YOU (and I) contribute some to the wobble.
If you're in a turn and hit bumps or even slight dips, your body moves which is transmitted through your arms into the handle bars. This in turn upsets the front wheel enough that it wobbles.
So, when you're in the turn, after having settled into it, loosen your arms and your grip on the handle bars. I've noticed that if my body and arms are tense, the wobble "reappears".
I've noticed this over the same turns, and have experimented with this...

Just an opinion....

There is either a medal of bravery or a purple heart coming you way for that comment :wink:

Different wobble.

The wobble that is most often discussed is the decel wobble at 37 mph, whether in a turn or not.....the only thingt that STOPS the decel wobble is a firm grip on both handlebars.....and on mine I still feel it even then.
