Steering is going wobbly |

My motorcycle started to feel like the steering going a bit wobbly on high speed, sweeping bends. It certainly wasn't like this before and I'd like to sort it before it gets any worse. Someone suggested it was warped discs. Does that sound likely and if so, how should I fix them? |

Unfortunately the steering going wobbly could be a number of things. We'd start by starting tires; incorrect pressure, unusual wear patterns signs of squaring-off can very often cause steering defects or changes in feel. Various bearings could be the culprit too. It could be wheel or head bearings but we'd check both sides front and rear wheel bearings, plus the swingarm bearings and the rear linkage for play. Warped discs sound unlikely but not impossible. You'll generally feel a pulsing at the lever before they'll start to affect handling. |

It can also be the suspension gas leaking rear shock or just a very old shock that needs replacement |

The bike is a Kawasaki ER6N bough in 2007 from Kawasaki Thailand, never used any aftermarket products and the bike is still 100 percent stock trim. Service always done by Kawasaki |
