Details

What's wrong: Front wheel movement and rapid side-to-side handlebar movement can occur when the front wheel is lightly loaded and hits a bump.

Why it matters: This movement can reduce the driver's ability to control the motorcycle resulting in a loss of control and a vehicle crash.

The fix: Dealers will install a steering damper kit on these vehicles which is designed to reduce front wheel oscillation and eliminate side-to-side handlebar movement.
