Hi guys - riding a GN250 - the front wheel has started bouncing slightly -as if going over uneven tarseal (even when I'm not). I can feel the constant judder through the handlebars. No reason to suspect the front wheel is buckled/damaged, as no accident or drops. It does seem to be the wheel, but could it actually be some kind of engine mis-fire? - problem is worse between 50 -80 & seems to even out around 100

Sounds like wheel not balanced, need balancing. Cheap at tyre shop. Not get bike shop to do, cheaper at tyre shop.

Wheel bearings?

Hey, welcome to the site.

Like Steam says - get your front wheel balanced. :done:

Check all the normal stuff like tyre pressure first.

Then check the steering head bearings (post back here if you don't know how), the wheel bearings, swing arm bearings etc.

I'm going to assume the forks are working? ie, pull on the front brake and push em up and down? It might also pay to change any oil in the front forks.
