I've got a new America that has got a problem with shimmy in the front. Decelerating from 80-60km is the worst. Just crusing at 70km is kinda OK but feels odd as there is a slight twitch all the time. Sometimes it even feals like the wheel is oval as it bounces a bit.
I've had it back to the dealer serveral times and it keeps coming back - in spec all OK- Well it ain't. In desparation I had a new tyre fitted today, the shimmy is now worse but the twitch is gone.
When looking at the rim while riding I can see the left side is perfectly true but the right side has a very pronounced wobble in the rim. My dial gauge indicates about 5mm wobble but the tyre is 1mm
The steering head has been checked and I'm told they even tried another wheel off an other bike but can't confirm this.
I'm sure the dealer thinks I'm imagining it so I'm considering giving the bike to the salesman to ride for a week so he can experience it and then maybe it'll get sorted.
If anyone has had similar problems or knows what I should try would be great.
