Has anyone had this problem before? Just got this 1986 350x, went out tonight, 30 mile ride, got bout 3 miles from home, started to wobble bad enuff to scare me. front tire is tight, bearings good shape, triple T bearings seem alright, the front brake was hot, and seems like they just siezed up, but i took out the pads, rotor not hitting the caliper, and still have the same front end wobble. anyone have any ideas about what makin my new toy wobble bad? I will clean it up and post a pic or 2 later tomorrow. you guys tell me what ya think.

My guess would be maybe the tire is going bad. Look at the tire from the front and spin it over slowly. And see if the tread staggers anywhere on the tire. I have seen it happen a lot on car tires when they brake a cord inside the tire. Also check out your rear tires/brakes/bearings. A lot of times the trouble can be comeing from the rear but you are feeling it in the front.

What do you guys think about him swapping engines with his 300EX making a 350EX and a 300X??? Trike is definately not scrap material. And for 800 bucks it was definately worth it. It came with a full Kerker exhaust and stock system, an extra pair of factory wheels with new radials and it has a new RAD dual row bearing carrier and new bearings and a spare axle. What do you think it would be worth with a 300 electric start with reverse?
