Moscow needs your help
Hello everyone from Moscow Russia! translated the text google translator!) I have Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager 2010, and I have a problem that I can not solve! Could not find a solution to the problem on the Internet and found your forum. Thought you might help me. At my speed of 40-60 I was chatting from side to side the steering wheel (when I let it go) I changed ALL the bearings, I put new wheels (front, rear) But nothing helped! Tell me how to get rid of it? And from what is this happening? Thank you very much

Are you sure you tightened the new steering bearings to the correct setting ?
Did you use tapered roller bearings that Allballs bearings sell or did you replace the bearings with the stock Kawasaki bearings ? |

I think you may need a fork brace. contact GV550 he makes a quality fork brace, it should solve the problem. It is called a "Gary's Fork Brace".
Welcome to the Forum. |

No its not a problem with the rear axle. The steering usually acts up at a specific speed as you described in your original post, 40 to 60. At high speed the bike is usually fine.

Ok, need to check your neck bearings have the correct preload. If thats correct, your tire / tires can cause a reaction like that.
Make sure your rear swingarm is tight....also, I have seen wheel alignment cause 40-60 mph chatter also. This could be several things, its probably something loose or maybe fromt tire connected.... Is your front tire cupped? Scalloped? How much pressure are you running in your front wheel? Too much info is better than not enough....

I found that my bike wobbled especially with Metzeler Marathon tires, the Dunlops were better, and now I use Shinko's and they have been the best so far. But the wobble returns after the tire get some miles on them.

Did you buy this motorcycle brand new ? Has it has ever been in an accident ?
Maybe the frame or forks are twisted ? If you bought it when it was brand new in 2010 has it always had this problem ? Did you do something new to the bike and then the problem started ? |

Motorcycle I bought a year ago. There are traces of minor drops, but not strong! Outwardly, everything is smooth. But how to find out? What first of all to pay attention to? Wheels look smooth

STOP!! Go back to the Original Post. Due to your location I would assume? that your speed is stated in kilometers per hour?
That is a whole different set of spped related possibilities of items that need to be torqued, checked, aligned, etc. 40kph is equal to our 25 miles per hour.
