the other day i was rideing my 2003 trailblazer 250 on some pavement and i could feel a wobble in the
bike it felt like it was coming from the back but i cant say for sure. so what do you guys think i should look at to find my problem? my brother in law says his raptor does the same thing and it is because the front tires are set with a little bit of toe in could this be the case...

 

sounds like your axle may be bent a little bit

 

god i hope not that would suck. i am kind of fat though, but i havent ever really jumped it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I am not for sure though but thats what it sounds like to me

 

Was it at high speeds? Cuz the tires are not balanced, and that could cause a wobble

 

yes it was at high speeds, not as bad when slow and not noticeable off road. i just went down in the toy box and spun all the tires i did not see any wobble in the axle but i could see flat spots in the tires from it sitting. maybe it has always done it and i never noticed. it was the first time i had taken a long ride on the pavement.

 

Jack the back end off the ground and start it up and give it some gas. See if the rear wheels seem to be spinning true or if there is a wobble. It might be a bent axle but it might also just be a loose axle nut so make sure thats tight.

 

Jack it up and check the swingarm it could have worked loose.Also check the axle bearing nut it could need to be tigjtened but greese it first.

 

different tire pressures can cause that too.

 

went and checked my pressure its about the same in all the tires. it seams like it could be my right front brake. the roter has a couple of nice grooves in it and it rubs as the tire spins but not enough to really slow the tire when i spin it.all the nuts also seam to be on tight.



I think i found my prob the front right tire was pushed over to one side on the rim "from rideing on my too side wheels" i was able to push it over some but i may still have it reseated...
