Raptor front end shimmys...BAD
 

The front end starts to shake and shimmy once I hit 5th gear. The faster I go the worse it gets. It feels like the whole d@mn front end is going to fall apart. I have never crashed this quad. I truely believe the problem is the Slime that I put in the tires about a year ago. Each tire has about 16oz. of Slime and I think it has possibly dried up and thrown the tires WAY out of alignment. Any other thoughts?

The rims appear to be straight. I'm thinking of getting a new set of front tires and see if that does it. If not, I could use new tires anyway I guess.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

i am pretty sure it is the slime i had the same problem and never could figure out what it was
but my best guess is that the slime sat and ran to the bottom of the tire and sat up and dried and now there is just a big glob of it on one part of the tire
i dont think i used the whole 16 oz though so mine wasnt so bad it felt like it was falling apart

You might check the toe in/out. That wil make them grab then release causing them to shimmy.
