Wobble movement when I de-accelerate.
The last few time I got my 06 Deluxe out I noticed when I let off the gas I get a side to side wobbling movement from the front end. Does anyone know what could cause this? Initially I thought it could be the front tire unbalanced but if this movement only happens when I let off the gas… Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Wobble movement when I de-accelerate.
It could be alignment, tire pressures, steering head adjustment , loose spokes and some other things. Best to attack them one at a time to find out what;s causing the wobble.

I would check tire pressure first

Put it on a jack and spin the wheel by hand,sometimes you can see if it is the rim or a shifted tire

Re: Wobble movement when I de-accelerate.
My Heritage did the same thing right around the 5000 mile checkup. They said the front end bearings needed adjustment and that was part of the maintenance. They did it and it worked wonderfully after that.
