Answers:
- Motor mounts will get soft and spongy over 20 years. I suggest you replace them and adjust the engine alignment according to the instructions in the FSM when you do.
You do have a FSM, right? By: 47Knuckle-Dragger on: 7-15-2006
- What 47 Knuck says but damn 87 was 20 years ago dammmmnnnn where did it all go. Check wheel bearings and tire balance, as well as shocks By: Mark_Goff on: 7-17-2006
- I've got a '94 FXLR and it was doing the same thing. I had a Carridge Works 21" front wheel that I'd slammed into a curb really hard. I checked the wheel runout and it was 7-8 thou. I got my Insurance to pay for another wheel(a real big hassle) and now it's fine. A buddy runs a shop in town, and he told me you don't want the front wheel to runnout more than 3 thou. You might check your wheel. On mine you could tell it was in the front wheel--under about 40 the bars would do this fast little wiggle when you took your hands off, like with a low tire. Just an idea. (I love my FXLR--I've never ridden any bike that's as nimble as it) By: Meat_&_Cheese on: 7-18-2006
- found out it has broken belts in the back tire and it was out of round and 47 knuckle was correct the front puck in the motormount was soft thanks to all of you By: john_O on: 7-18-2006
