Might be a cupped front tire, or a bent fork.-Steve

yeah, check that out soon! i would check the tire for proper balance at your local shop. and you probably want to make sure the tread on that tire is evenly wearing
you could check that one of the calipers isn't sticking on the side it pulls toward too. it probably isn't but that sort of thing gets me paranoid1993 Suzuki GSX600F

What brand/make of tires are on the bike, and is the tire pressure up to what it needs to be?
Dunlops and most Michelins are famous for cupping/scalloping early in their lives, and the problem is simply exacerbated by running the tires under pressure regularly (to the point that low pressure can make any brand/type of tire do it).

Suggest you also post up a pic of the tire(s). I'll be happy to tell you if the guy was yankin' your chain or if you're actually at serious risk.

What does "cupping" mean exactly? And how much would a new front tire cost nd would it be possible for a novice to do it on their own??? Thanks again for the help guys.Attached Files

Ever since I've been running Avons on my 93 from fast deceleration between 50 and 45 it wobbles a bit. I checked tire balance and pressure made sure the fork bearings were good,torqued properly ect. Just dont take your hands off the clips and youll be fine..If it happens while your riding hands on get it checked asap..
