somethings wrong with my 06

[400exrider0004]

hey guys i just picked up my 06 two days ago and wow this bike pulls. Everygear the tires want to grab, and pull you off the seat. All i have to say is i cant wait till i get the HRC kit!!! Anyways, when i ride, my front tires wobble back and forth. It looks like the rims are bent, but there not because I changed tires/rims and it still did the same thing. I cant figure out whats wrong with it...maybe the camber???? If you have any ideas what so ever tell me!

Thanks

put the bike on a stand and roll them with your hands and watch very closly... i couldnt even guess what is wrong

wheel bearings? doubt it tho? your not cross eyed are you ? lol just kidding man. umm yeah put it on a stand and rollem, if you can shake the tires back and fourth the bearings went out?

my 06 did the exac same thing! I found out that when they assembled the bike they left a couple of shipping washers on the studs of the front hubs because the bikes are shipped without tires and they bolt the hubs to the cages the bikes are shipped in. Make sure there arent any shipping washers on the studs. Hope this is the problem. I know how you feel because I was pissed when I found out the rims wobbled and thought that the rims were bent...Anyways check that. Let me know if that was the problem.

Yep mine was the same way, 2 washers behind the one wheel making it wobble bad.

dido on that ...looked down 2 hours after i bought it and was like WTF..6700 and the rim is already bent..nope idiots just left the washers on...

man oh man you would think that for the kind of bank we drop on these there would be a little more attention to detail.
and leaving 2 of 4 ? good grief did they smoke some hippy lettuce before the assymbly ? mine dont shake but where are these extra washers located ? between the hub and wheel ?

[Abrannan19]

exactly..mine were behind the lug nut..two were on and two were off..

[moto440ex]

Same thing happended with mine, I looked over everything tryin to figure it out, and when i switched my wheels out, i found 2 washers behind both hubs.

Same thing on my quad to,2 washers on each side,about shook me off quad! Also check ALL bolts and nuts,my quad had lots of stuff loose!

[yamablaster24]

haha when i put my aftermarket rims i found these 2 washers, along with nuts and bolts from other hondas in my footpegs... i searched the quad and couldne have found where they could have been from so i guessed they were from inside the motor or somethin....lol

[lobeeone]

I found nuts and washers in my footpegs too, haven't a clue what they are for.

and to think u prob. paid $400 r whatever for stealership set-up charges ROFL. that is why I always refuse to pay any BS fees when I buy my new bikes
