Next is replacing the fork oil and getting rid of the front wheel wobble.
Hi, Emil. I was wondering if you already bought the "fork oil". If you did can you tell me where you found it and how much it cost, please?

Also, about your "wheel wobble" I noticed another post of yours today and I wanted to ask you a question. Did the wheel begin wobbling around the same time as you heard that "grinding" noise in the front brake area? I'm trying to see if these issues are connected or if it could be 2 or 3 separate issues. Thanks.

Emil

Hi Rianna,

I bought a 7W at a local store for $12. It's this one: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/4/22/269/7386/ITEM/Maxima-Racing-Fork-Fluid.aspx. But I haven't replaced the oil yet.
As for the 'grinding' and the wobble - they didn't appear simultaneously and I don't think they are connected.
Thinking of another post that I read here it rather seems that the wobble started when the oil didn't do it's job well anymore. That would of course mean that the wobble was always there but that the front suspension buffered it.
So even if my wobble disappears after the oil change I will still have to look into the wobble problem. Just don't know how yet.. rotating, slime, dyna beads, ....?

Thanks, for the link for the fork oil, Emil. I thought about the dyna beads as well. If the tire is the source of the wobbling then dyna beads should settle it. I'm just wondering if that doesn't just cover up the real problem, rather than cure it, if it's not the tire causing it.
