TS250/1. Low speed weave/ handlebar oscillating

Hi all,

just finished rebuilding my TS and got it MOT’d today.

I put around 50 miles on it after the test and noticed a slight weave/bar oscillation.  This occurred below 35mph and was relatively high frequency but limited movement of the handlebar.  Above 40, it disappeared.

Is this normal?

apologies if this is in the wrong category but I can’t work out how to post it in two stroke help!

ps, I’ll post photo of the finished bike – very happy with it.

cheers

TS250/1 Fork Oil spec

Hi there,

I’m continuing with sorting out a few niggles with my TS250, one of which is an overly soft front end (in my opinion).

Any advice on oil weight/spec/volume required to stiffen it up a bit?  With riding gear and luggage, probably looking at 100kg ……just me, no passenger.

 

also, anyone got a hybrid front brake cable (MZ lever to CB350 TLS brake)?

cheers

Gordon
