People 250 / Re: front wheel wobble while coasting to a stop

I will also try the possible fix suggested by olbull...I can't imagine it's a top-case issue, because I had my top case installed upon purchase, and it's only begun to do this recently.  Ditto for tires - pressure is on target, and the tread is fine.  I suspect if olbull's fix does not work, I will have to take it to the shop to check for a wheel issue or steering head bearings, just to be sure.  Thanks for the suggestions...

People 250 / front wheel wobble while coasting to a stop
« on: July 26, 2009, 12:03:23 AM »
Hi -
I have a 2006 People 250 that I have not ridden all that much due to a heavy work related travel schedule.  I have recently begun riding it a lot more, and just recently have noticed a wobble in the front wheel when coasting down to a stop.  Usually, this wobble occurs at about 25-35 mph, while coasting slower on the way to a full stop.  Accelerating will cause the wobble to stop, and it does not seem to occur at higher speeds, nor when the throttle is open.  I have been able to make this wobble manifest by riding up and down my street and just repetitively coasting to that 25-35 mph threshold, and sure enough, happens every time.

So, my question is, has this happened to anyone else, and if so, what has been the likely culprit?  My Scooter is essentially new, with less than 2000 km on the ODO.  I can't imagine any part being worn out in such a small span of mileage, but I am looking for thoughts and suggestions.  Haven't taken it to the dealer yet...that whole work-travel thing again.  Any help/ advice of what to look for would be appreciated.  Thanks.
