Having this problem on my meteor 350, the bike is 4000km only, I hope is the front tire, because everything else seems fine.

I drop about 5 pounds of air out of that tire see what it does

Distorted front tire.

Why not

Good fligth and... THATS A HELL NICE SHIRT!!

Potato engine on Harley makes it happen Harley knows this but refuses to modernize.

Tire balance and maintenance usually solves the problem

#HarleyDavidson is pure junk. I don't care what anyone says. The last Harley I owned had less than 10k miles on it and started having issues. I'd rather ride a dependable #Honda over #Harley any day.

it's designed to do that. watch "wobble and weave"

thats normal for harleys

Reading all the comments can drive anyone crazy. Ride on this can happen with any bike. Piss off

Honestly that's just wobble in the bushings replace them

I used to take my girlfriend up with me, i understand !

What is NorCal saying at 8:55? Definitely would have gotten a "say again" from me.

Looks like a balancing issue

I hope the ATC guys don’t listen to your channel, lolol! Just kidding!

Maintainence.....

My 2018 CVO Limited does the same shit. You would think they corrected it by now

sadly i had a brother in law killed from this. He was thrown from his bike during the wobble. I don't know the full details but he had just started to pass a slower car. His buddies state that once he got in front of the other car his bike started shaking big time. Really... bad deal.

I live to the left of the approach he used. Rio Vista (. 088) gets about 3 to 7 landings a day. On the weekend a few flying clubs may increase it to 10 landings a day as long as the wind stops blowing.

long time since last video

It's not at all uncommon for motorcycles to produce some steering head shake, or wobble, especially when it is throttled down, when hands are off the bars. This usually is not any kind of problem, just put your hands back on the bars and it isn't even noticeable. The cause can be one or a combination of many things from fork oil, tweeked fork tubes, tire wear (cupped) loose steering head bearings, worn bearings, I suppose anything else, bent axle, loose axle, whatever. I've seen more serious wobbles on you tube from problems related to the back of the bike, and those can be dangerous. Worn or loose rear motor mounts (Harley, causing oscillation) rear swing arm bearings, or looseness misaligned wheels (not in line, check for equal chain adjusters) or whatever else.

My 2013 Road Glide did the same thing. Dealer checked it out and found nothing wrong. The Road Glide is gone and now I ride a BMW R1200GS.

Why only some Harley have this problem? Many injuries and death because of it.

Warped front brake rotor

You remind me of a United mechanic I used to know but he was better looking.

Thanks for the video. Two years ago I bought a 2006 Road king classic with only 5 K miles. I was introduced to vibration that I had not experienced on my 85 Super glide or 06 Soft tail. Then at 22 k miles I changed the front tire and wheel and got front end shake. I took the wheel and tire to Drews Cycle to get it checked out. The wheel was well within harley (trueness) specks but the whole tire and wheel assembly was a 1/4 oz off. (I had mounted and balanced the thing myself) I had the bearings checked and spun balanced to perfect then installed it. It still wobbles at about 40 mph. When I re installed the original old tire and wheel assembly it runs good. I run Dunlop 402 white walls on both the ST and the R K which makes it easy to see whats going on while the wheels are spinning down the road. On the soft tail they run concentric on both sides on the Road king the left side runs good but on the right side you can easily see the white side wall wobbling around. I called up dunlop and talked to Dave Johnson who said take it to the Harley dealer. They wanted $150 to check it out. Whats the point. I believe that even though a tire is balanced radially it can be off dynamically which would impart some kind of shake, exasperated by the front steering head bearings not being so tight that it would make the bike difficult to steer . Also at 75mph plus it starts getting progressively annoying.

Had that problem thought was neck bearings turned out was front wheel

i have a 08 roadglide with stock rims and tires that had no problems. i changed the front rim to a 2017 enforcer brand new and from the first ride experience that same problem at 30 to 40 mph only. i truly believe its the tire thread cuts. i did nothing else but change the wheel back to stock and the problem was gone. i took the enforcer wheel tobe Balance check and intalled the beads reinstalled it and the problem is back. anyone else have thoughts about the Dunlop tires.

HD has a recall on the stock front tire... also just fall away on ur neck bearings.. My pops CVO did the same thing, new tire and tighten the neck bearings a little

Currently happening on my road king they say could be wheels or neck bearings

Great video brywd

had that one my bikes...tire issues. .might look new and good but it's deformed so it causes the wobble....100%

Where do I purchase clip borad yoke mount similar to yours?

No a safe bike like that

I spent allot of time and money fixing handling issues on my 2012 street glide. I ended up using Ohlins suspension at both ends. Then I installed a stabilizing kit from Glide-Pro. I performed a alignment with some new Dunlop American Eliete tires and every handling issue vanished. I can not say enough good things about Jake at Glide Pro. Call Jake and he will get you right. If it wasn't for him I would be riding s BMW right now.

I like the way you keep scanning for VFR traffic even though you're with ATC.

She's right! You shouldn't chew gum on camera. Kids could be watching.

I like this guy... Gonna watch more of his flights...

this happens to me when im going about 35-40 mph

Definitely front end issues. It's either your forks, bearings or low tire pressure/tire damage.

Regarding Rio Vista (O88), This is one of the worst cases of not learning from ones past or not WANTING to learn from the past. The NEW airport at Rio Vista was built because of the same NIMBY attitudes that seam to exist more today then ever before. Someone buys a house near an airport or other preexisting industrial activity because they are less expensive then complains because of the otherwise normal results of that activity such as airplanes flying over. The NEW airport is there because the OLD airport was closed due to this same attitude. (brywsd) even flew over it on approach. It can be seen off his right wing tip. I can only believe that the houses under the approach path are there only because of poor zoning. However that happened :) I believe the only way to stop this infestation is to require that all property deeds require a google earth image with locations of industrial activities on them and a waver that has to be signed indicating that the purchaser knows that they are nearby and cannot files any legal complaints about that preexisting activity.

Fun Video. Pilots are a tough crowd. Always good to see another S35 owning some IFR..

could be with the bike geometry. try increasing the rake to lengthen the trail. your front fork could be out too

Planning any more videos?

Hi Bryan. I'm researching the purchase of a V35/36 (if I can find one) I live in Malta, and my plan was to purchase in the U.S and ferry it over. I've been following your channel for a while and you've been flying the beech for sometime, and so thought you'd be able to answer some questions I had about the type? , if you've got time would you mind if I gave you my email address here, and if you sent me an email I can reply with some questions? Thanks for your time. Regards Tim

Amazing machines...still have your Bo

The reason it does this is because the the contact point is in front of the swivel point, kinda like a caster. The way you fix this is keep both hands on the bars.

I love stumbling across these videos - look at all these butt hurt Harley riders blowing up the comment section with their excuses haha!

How is flying in IMC with the v-tail? I read that they're pretty tough to fly instruments with
