so i was riding the other day and noticed on bigger bumps i could see the lower part of my front axle near the forks shimmy back and forth. When i say back and forth i mean like the axle is moving toward the oil filter. not much, probably less than 1/8". i took the hawk out today to see if it acts similarly and only under engine bogging (like give it decent throttle at 1.5k rpms), it would really act similarly.
Is it an opitcal illusion or do you guys see the same thing?
NO clunking, head shakes or any feeling of the shimmy just if i watch it.
i'm going to jack the front end up at some point soon here to make sure it feels tight but i gotta imagine if it was actually something i'd feel that, ie that loose of bearings, or worn inner fork bushings.
its almost like whole front fork assembly, on compression are bending slightly.
thoughts? anyone else notice this or take a look?
