Question:

motorcycle handling problem?

I have a motorcycle made by Bajaj.It‘s 3 months old and run 2500 kilometers.I handle it gently and have never dropped or crashed it.Two days back, the bike developed handling problems at the front end.The handle bars feels heavy and refuses to turn.It‘s as if the handle is welded to the chassis.The problem is at it‘s worst between speeds of 10-20 km/hr.The bike is also pulling to either sides when grabbing the front brake.Negotiating roundabouts has become risky.The bike just wants to go straight rather than turning and i have to muscle it back to my correct path.It was not like this just a week ago.What could be the problem?.The air pressure on both tyres are perfect.The front disks are not dragging either.Is it something related to forks or bearings?.Do the bearings get tight automatically?.

Answer:

One of fords better cars compared with the Cadillac, They use ford's biggest engine the 4.6L, most expensive fixes is the rear air bag suspension. Could cost up to $1500 to get it fixed.
Hey John, if you can find a Towncar, you'll probably like it more. I was never a fan of the Continental, the front drive and goofy look just don't appeal to me. I bought a 95 Signature TC, and I am really really happy with this car. Repairs are relatively easy, and reliability is top notch.
Check to see if the forks are bent. This sounds like a mountain bike I had as a kid. I bent the forks so far, it changed the caster of the steering and it wouldn't turn.
Along with the other answers, the front tire may need to be replaced. The center of the tread can be worn, making the tire square - this affect will take place after ridding with the tire under-inflated. Inspect the tire tread. The tread depth should be the same all around the tire. Check the front and rear tires. The rear tire can also have an effect on turning.
assuming you have not had the wheel out, first check your wheel nut is tight / then put your bike on the centre stand get someone to push down on the back so your front wheel is of the ground now get hold of your wheel at the top one hand at the bottom now pull with one hand as you push with the other then do the opposite with each hand is there play if so its your wheel bearings, while the bike is up go to the front get hold of the wheel in the central position gentle knock it to the left it should just go straight to the stop then do the same to the right , if it is tight it could be the lock ring has tightened up a bit just easy it of a fraction until the wheel will move freely left right, then get hold of the front wheel while in central position pull towards you then push away from you if there is play head bearings are to lose, , now if you nip them up it goes tight your head bearings are shot or some have fallen out you need new ones hope this helps you sot it
