Hey everyone,
Looking to see if anyone might have an idea of some causes for my problem with my XB12R. Last fall I was taking my bike back to my parents to store it for the winter. On the way, I got scared to death when the front end seemed to be unstable. It seemed that with the slightest twitch of the handlebars or any cross wind on the highway and I was fighting to keep the bike up right. The thing would just start wobbling like crazy and felt completely unstable. I took it slow the rest of the way, and havent been able to take it in to get looked at yet.
Just curious if anyone has had similar problems or any clue as to what may cause this?
Thanks

Being an '05, may want to check your Front isolator to see if it needs replaced:
Awesome I will check it out. Thanks for the replies, and I will post on this again when I am able to get it fixed. Might be a couple months due to my financial situation haha.
