Are these 2 stroke bikes prone to death wobble? (I have stock 66/80 2 stoke on a Schwinn cruiser).
Sunday I was running about 25mph down a smooth, flat blacktop and it started to feel like
a death wobble shaking in the handlebars/front end (all the bar bolts and front end bolts are tight).
It finally stopped after I got the speed reduced down to about 15-18 or so. Once I got back in town, I rode it
for about 20 minutes or so at various speeds and then it seemed fine. It was pretty windy outside
but this seemed different than just wind blowing. I have had a couple death wobbles on my scooter before, and this felt just like that.
Wondering what could have caused it? Thanks John
