I assume it does , how do I check this ? I went to a Yamaha dealer and had it balanced there ...

I just found this paraphrase :

Don't know why it didn't dawn on me before...

This sort of problem usually stems from trying to align the forks with the standard mudguard still attached to the forks. The guard is quite stiff and springy and tends to splay the fork legs outwards. You should always at least loosen all the mudguard bolts when aligning forks or better still, remove the mudguard completely to take it out of the equation. This applies to all bikes with guards mounted to the fork legs. I remember now that I could never get mine aligned with the guard in place; not an issue now with a high guard as it's mounted to the bottom yoke.


-----> I will loosen the mudguard and try to bounce the forks again while on paddockstand on the rear wheel and then close the clamp bolts again and see if it solves it. the question is: The wobble you visually see while driving ( stand up and look at front tire while driving ) : is it due to alignment or COULD IT BE from the axle or is it definitly the tire that is faulty ??? Cause in that case I can try as much as I want it wont help :P ....
