Topic: 400f front end gudder

[Frenchmike]

Hi one and all, well I still have my front end gudder that I though was the fork oil being to thick, but now I have changed it for ATF its' still the same, but now having checked the front tyre.
( I have noticed the tyre is running out of true, by about 8 mm,
do you think this will give me the same experience.)

I don't want to buy a new tyre if it's not necessary, as the the tread is good.

I have deflated the tyre, loosened to tyre bead and applied so washing up liquid, reinflated it , but it still the same

Look around the bead there should be a bit of fabric equally  visible the full circumference of the bead on both sides. If it isn't equal then your bead isn't seated properly. If it is even then I would suspect a separated tyre, which will need replacing.

Have you checked the run out at the rim? If its out then your wheel will need truing, that is spokes correctly tensioned.

Thanks for both replies I'm off out in the garage to check

That too, I keep forgetting that most of these bikes still have spokes.

It's me again and I still have the same problem , so my next question is has anyone changed the RING, PISTON in the forks , that is the small plastic split ring at the top of the internal rod, if so where did you  buy them
