Only had the bike 2 days, riding it today and a guy on a scooter pulled up next to me and told me that my rear wheel's wobbling about. I've check the markings on the swingarm and I know that both sides are matched up, so the wheel should be running true, obviously I can't see the problem as I'm busy riding and it feels fine, can anyone suggest:
a) Apart from the alignment I've already checked what else could be wrong? I suspect that if the guy was right then it must be a chassis/suspension thing as, if the wheel didn't run true I'd feel it on the rear brake and I reckon it would foul the hugger.
b) Given that I don't have a centre stand or a paddock stand (but I do have lots of car axle stands and jacks) is there any way I can stand the bike up off the back wheel and see the wobbling for myself? If so please could someone give me instructions and/or piccys?
c) I reckon that in the near future (but not near enough for me to fix this particular problem) I will probably invest in a paddock stand, do I have to get one specific to the monster or are they generic items? Is there anywhere in/near SE London that you could recommend I go to get one? (Can you get them in Halfords?)
Thanks
