Front end shimmy or shake

Has the front wheel been off the bike for any other reason? Checked torque on front axle bolt/wheel bearings?


Starts coming on around 50, cast wheel, new tire about 4 months ago, had wheel off yesterday and had it checked for balance, it’s good, bearings good. Axle properly torqued and followed Honda service manual procedure to mount front wheel. Tire does have slight uneven wear from side to side. Always keep 36 psi in tire.

First thought is front wheel not true and/or tire cupped.

How was tire balanced?

Any tire balancing goo in tire/tube?

Any difference running on rain grooves versus smooth road?

Static balance. Wheel weights used, no goo. Smooth roads much smoother, rain grooves suck!
