What VTX1300 owners report
Recent steering complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
THE FRONT END STARTS TO GET THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN LET OFF THE GAS GOING AROUND 45 MPH. AND IT IS STARTING TO DO IT AT MORE SPEEDS NOW. BUT THAT IS WHEN IT IS THE WORST. CAN'T TAKE BOTH HANDS OF THE HANDLE BARS OR GRIP IT LIGHTLY OR ELSE IT WILL SHAKE TO MUCH AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK.
WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 25 OR 30 MPH THE HANDLEBARS SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. TRIED NEW TIRES, DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM
WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING. WOBBLE GETS MUCH WORSE WHEN 1 OR 2 HANDS ARE NOT FIRMLY ON HANDLEBARS. GETS MUCH WORSE DURING DECELERATION. *TR
