Hey Shirley! A round on me. I've got a problem back.
A while back, I had a problem with a front motor mount. It like I was
riding over pencils on soft bumps and my forward brake shaft was
rubbin and squeaking. I replaced the mount and everything was fine.
Thursday I took my girlfriends grand daughter for a ride and It felt
like riding over pencils again on soft bumps. Rear motor mount is
less than a year old. I'm stumped Any ideas???
Shirley, another round please.

Have you been riding over pencils?
112 (it had to be asked)

I wish I had! I adjusted the shocks and it made no difference. I'm
not sure what is going on. It seems to be happening during cornering
too. I'm now thinking it might be the swing arm bushing. The only
problem with that is it went away after the installation of the front
motor mount and now it's back! I'm going to pull the tank and see
about that top motor mount.
BTW, thanks for asking...FYYFF

Maybe chassis alignment? It's kinda tricky to get it spot-on.
Could even be your tire(s) or the wheel balance.

Different tires and alignment is right on.
