front end woble

[bdmartin123]

can anyone tell me what i can do to stop front end wobble on my 2001 yamaha with a champion trike kit i hate that wobble

Without seeing how your trike is setup Bobby, there can be several reasons for the wobble.

Is there a rake kit installed on the front end?

Do you have a steering stabilizer on it?

It could also be as simple as running with the right tire pressures.

Is the front tire wearing evenly?

I would start with tire pressure adjustments to tackle your issue as it is the least expensive option. A new front tire might also be in order if its not wearing evenly, as a cupped or worn out tire will affect handling.

A good link someone posted awhile ago on here for suggested tire pressures front and rears is shown at the bottom/below.

Lehman is also a sponsor of Trike Talk and they kindly provided the info you'll find in the link.

As you may or may not be aware, the founder of the site we're on now is Zook with Cut & Shoot Customs.

He can likely give you info on the other options for rake etc. if tire pressure alone doesn't work?

Good luck & let us know how you make out...

Other things to check, head bearing tightness and head bearing wear. Maybe tire balance, could of thrown a weight.
