Hey,
Just got a 2005 fz6 the other week, 30k kms, never dropped. Love the bike, looking forward to being part of this community. Anyways....
On my 3rd or 4th ride I almost lost control when the front wheel began to wobble extremely violently during hard acceleration. Luckily I backed off the throttle and was able to regain control. I was accelerating hard to pass a car, probably went from 100km/h-160km/h during the pass, accelerating full out, over a really really bumpy road. Imagine the most uneven road youve ever seen, that was this road.
So I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about, I've heard of some people saying it could be caused by an old wheel bearing or bent forks, but the bike hasnt been dropped as far as i can tell. The bike has been sitting though as the previous owner only put 2500kms on it in 3 years (I consider that sitting)
Or was it just caused by what I was doing, accelerating too hard over a really bumpy road? My old bike was a ninja 250r so I never really had the problem of speed wobble.
Any thoughts? Even just suggestions on things I should be looking at.
