Motorcycle Repair: Tire Pulling, honda vt500, wheel bearings

Question
I recently bought a 1983 Honda VT500, the previous owner said he had laid it down once.  When riding I feeling pulling from the front end, both right and left, also at low speed I feel a slight wobble. Please help.

Answer
Hi Michael,


Worn tires and worn or loose bearings may cause the symptoms you've described.

Quick and simple inspection will reveal the cause.

Best to have a local tech check this problem. He'll need to check steering stem bearings, wheel bearings, tire cupping (wear), and maybe wheel alignment.
