I have another quick question for ya, but please dont do this unless you really feel safe and comfortable at the time.. If you let go of the handlebars at slow speeds 20-25 mph does it wobble? The only way i knew i had a wobble was when i was going slow and let go of the handlebars..

actually it does, I sometimes take my hands off to fix my helmet/sunglasses, and at slower speeds (like 25-40 mph) I have found that it does wobble slightly, not much, but enough that I noticed it

"I think your wobble might be from a higher source, Telling you to Back off on the throttle and OBAY THE LAW! Hum,people dying on motorcycles...Speed related.... could be."

Where and how do you find roller bearing for 77 KZ650. Are they an easy intall?

Front bearing? Where to get a set of rollers for 77 KZ650 and are they easy to install?

I have not looked yet, but am certain that Z1enterprises will have them, I will be getting some from there soon.

Thats how mine started too, got progressively worse. That spanner nut on the steering stem helped a little, then the new tire got rid of it altogether. My stem bearings are tight but do check that also.
