2007 Roadstar 1700
I've noticed in the past few weeks that my front wheel is starting to wobble on deceleration. At first I didn't notice it, and thought it was just engine vibration, but I decided to loosen my grip just a bit to see if it reacted. It did, and very quickly, it started to wobble left and right at first in slight movements, then got progressively more violent as I slowed down. Reaffirming positive control stabilized the bike, but I am worried that it will only get worse. It only happens when I'm decelerating, and from about 30mph down to about fifteen. I have since checked my tire pressure, which is good, and I also looked for signs of uneven wear, there was none. As this is my first Roadstar, is this common? If not (I would hope it isn't), what are some possible causes and fixes? Thanks all!
