High Speed Wobbel @110-112

OK I searched on this didn’t find what I was looking for. I went darkside 2 weeks ago. I have about 150 miles on the Michelin Hydroedge on my 03 1800c. I got it up to about 110 this weekend but it started to wobble real bad like if I didn't shut it down quickly it was going to come apart. This was not a vibration but a real bad wobble. Any ideas as to what could cause this. It was not there with the worn out MT. This was pretty scary at 110 mph. No I don't need to go that fast but it can so I will or would have.

Check your shock bushings. The rubber should be equal all around the bolt, if not replace them.

Agree, shock bushings.

i had wore steering head bearings.

most likely culprit is the shock bushings, and easiest and cheapest to replace

Papa T, did ya have success?
I have the same issue with an 03' R. New bushings, new front tire. Didn't replace the steering head bearings, bike only had 4200 miles on it. Need to replace the shock bushings again, the replacement ones lasted all of 50 miles. Trying to find some aluminum ones. Keep us updated. later...

I have ordered 4 new bushings for the rear shocks from Ron Ayer.(about $15 with shipping),I will update when I get them installed and tested. Gota get some better weather around here to do the testing though (rain & fog).

this probably should have been mentioned before you ordered. But it is something to keep in mind for next time. The lower bushings for the F model are a polyurethane and last longer than the stock rubber bushings. The F bushings are a direct fit for both upper and lower on stock shocks on all other models of VTX. The F upper uses a roller bearing setup that is not interchangeable. 52489-HN0-671 is the honda part number for the harder bushing.

So that polyurethane bushing will last alot longer on top compared to the rubber chit? Why would Honda not put those all the way around from the factory?

I think they did eventually...

Those are the ones I ordered. Honda must have made the change.
