Motorcycle Repair: steering, triple trees, slow speeds


Question
Please tell me what adjusting the (fall off) means? Also, my 04 Ultra Classic seems unstable at slow speeds. Wants to make quick right and left movements.

Answer
Your probably talking about the fork swing. With the bike sitting on a stand, so the front wheel is off the ground, You should be able to turn the handlebars all the way to the left and let go. The front tire should swing back, past center and thn go back to center.
If your bike feels unstable at low speeds, then your triple trees probably need tightened on the bearing.
Happy holidays
