Front end

[specialrequest11]

I have a question. I had to have my bike broken down and reassembled in order to replace my frame. Now the front end of my bike shakes and I hear a rattle when I ride. The bike only has 1050 mile on it....Any suggestions on what the problem might be?

Did you set the front end up properly?

Did you replace the steering bearings?

Proper torque?

I'd check all those things first.

Maybe loosen up the forks, let them relax then torque the clamp bolts again.

I'd bet your problem is in the stearing? Let us know what you come up with. I for one, would like to know.

I don't know. Someone else did it for me. I will have to pass these suggestions along to him. I am trying to avoid taking it to the dealer, but if I have to, I will use it as a last resort.

I totally agree with Steven here. If you dont have the correct pre-load on the steering neck bearings, you will get shake!

and as suggested, you need to loosen those pinch bolts first...
