Help - GSXR750 speed wobbles

Steering head bearings is my first guess. Mine did it to after an excurtion through a fence. chucked a new set in and better than ever.

I dont think unbalanced front wheel would make it tank slap especialy at that speed.

Also check wheel allignment , balance normally shows up as vibration rather then tankslapper , normally head bearings or wheel allignment or bent frame will make them weave . After my dear old slbby (rip) hit its second car it went into a death weave at about 180 and came out of it at 200 , third car must have knocked it straight again cos then it went away

I would check the front tyre as a first posibility, next stearing head bearings, and then look at the front forks, suspension, frame.

If it was a genuine tank slapper, you'd be more likely to be telling us about your crash.

Atleast im not alone .

- check steering head bearings

-check tyres as crap tyres can also do this

Let me know how you get on ?
