Hello all.

Hope somebody can give some guidance. I noticed that my crf230 start oscilating the front wheel crom left to right at high speed. Where do I start looking? The forks have been lowered some 1.75" for lady riding (teaching the wife to ride). Ciuld uneven forks be the case, or could it be bent frame or tire balance?

As far as I can see there is no wheel buckle. This have been there for a few weeks and is not related to the next question.

Secondly, I came down on the pro mx track at rhino park yesterday, shifted the hand protector. Not a major prang thoug. Afterwards I noticed the fork was twisted maybe some 3 to 5 degrees. A friend suggested loosening the forks and front axle and retightening again. I will do that, but just wondering if the twist is par for the course, or if it is less than ideal and something to be concerned about?

Thanx...

Thanx!
