Motorcycle Safety & Driveability: front tire stability, honda shadow ace, punctures


Question
hi Pat,       I hope you can answer this for me.  The last couple times I ve taken my honda shadow ace out on the road, it has not felt right.  The front end doesn t seem to feel like its stable.  I feel as if it is pulling and almost like a tipping over sensation as I m riding.  Any ideas?  

Answer
It's probably tire pressure. Check the owner's manual for the proper pressure, then check your tires. Also, check the tread for punctures and check the wheel for cracks, dents, etc.

If you find that's not it, shoot me another question with more description of what it's doing and we'll try again.
