THanks forse The video.
No, I'm almost sure Thatcher The wheel in not straight. But I can't understand why, And the question is if it could be a problem of spoked wheels and if someone has the same.
.....Almost sure that the wheel is not straight ....
Sorry

Of course spoked wheels can be out of true. You need to check the runout and make sure it is within spec.
I really did a job on a bicycle wheel once while tightening spokes. Had to take it to the shop to get it trued correctly.

lol I still have a set of spoke wrenched in my tool box from the old days.

I meant is the wheel itself at 90° to the swingarm.

both my CB750 and CB1100 had a little hop at about 45 and it was the tires that needed balancing . a guy who races has a high speed balancer and hooked me up , now its so smooth all the way up
RE: Spoked wheels, problem - superfebo_imp - 04-11-2017
Yes, it seems at 90°. As soon as I can, I'll bring to a specialist check.

For some reason "some" bikes (not all) experience this problem. My 1976 CB750F does this. My CB1100 did this on the original set of tires after they became worn. When I replaced both tires the problem went away. Will have to see if problem returns when second set of tires gets more mileage on them.

The rear wheel does not look perfectly true in tyour video, but it is not out much, and may be within tolerance. Before assuming it is the rear wheel, a few questions I'd ask from my years working in motorcycle shops:
When did it start?
Did it start suddenly, or did it get worse?
Did you change anything, such as tires, handlebars, mirrors?
Did you add any accessories such as fairing or windshield?

There are lots of youtube videos about lacing and truing spoked motorcycle wheels. It's not trivial!

I felt it about after 1 year of use, and it seems to be progressively worsening. Maybe my hands are more sensible after The use.
