i know this is an open subject, but my bsa 650 has a front end wobble. i replaced the front tire but noticed i did not line up the mark for the air stem. it wobbled before the new tire.

what wd. be the first thing to check? spokes, fork races, wheel bearings, rear tire?

i suppose there is a lot to check. it does even out a bit after hitting 50 or so...

thanks,

I would check that the tyre was fitted correctly. Look at the concentric rings on the tyre wall and check if they are evenly showing all the way round the edge of the rim?
If not, then let the air out and blow it up it again. It sometimes helps to bounce the wheel on the floor a few time before it is fully inflated. Inflate to 40psi and leave it for a few hours.
