Hi JD, thanx for that mate.

Ok in the picture it may have a lot on board. But, even naked it still wobbles, ok not so severely!!

What sort of tyres would you recommend?

Thanx

Hi All, I've had my 900F for just over 2 years, bought it off 'SillyBay', for £400 after she had stood unused for 2 years.

Got her home on the Saturday, had a quick look over it on Sunday, put it in for an MOT on Monday, just needed fork seals and front wheel bearings. Got her back on the Tuesday, and we where off to the Rock n Blues Rally on the Thursday, 2's up and fully loaded, see pic below. She sailed there and back with no problems at all, except a bit of a wobble at slow speed's!

Since then she has only let me down the once! That was through the winter last year, I'd been out for a ride when the heavens above dropped their contents on me for about 3 hours. Just wouldn't stop. When I got home I just shoved her in the garage, and didn't use it again for about 5 or 6 days. When I did get her out, she just wouldn't start, ended up with a Bat Flattery!!

But, while charging battery, I cleaned her down, checked the plugs etc, and once back together, she started up first time, deep sigh of relieve

I find mine very comfy too, and seems as though she will plod along forever.

As mentioned above, I do have a slight wobble on the front end when going slow, especially with luggage on the back, or the Missus! Not quite sure what is causing it! I think my Left Hand Front Disc is slightly warped, could it be this??!!

Mine does have a high mileage of approx 92000, but as said if I can sort this wobble, any advice/ideas would be helpful, I will be well happy

As said in posts above, these are great bikes, and should be enjoyed.

Thanx

Micky

[wobbly xj900f]

I have a xj900f (92). The front end is going crazy on me. very severe wobble at all speeds. I've had a mechanic check the headset - he says it's ok. i have a set of matched tyres, and i can find no unusual movement in the swinging arm. I'm wondering has any other owner ever had this problem, or one similar on other bikes. Any advice would be welcomed.

Hi keithy

I have an XJ900F 'K' reg '92 model. And mine does a similar thing!

But, on mine it is more at slower speeds, ie riding thru traffic, going rond bends slowly etc etc.

I too have had various people look her over, and nothing was found to be wrong!

At her last MOT she had new front wheel bearings fitted, that was about 6 months ago.

That didn't solve the problem neither!!!

It is obviously a lot worse when two's up and loaded for a rally, can hardly make it through traffic jams without putting feet down and walking!!

And with rally season just about to start for us, it would be very much appreciated if, as you say, anyone has any idea's

Cheers
