I have a 2002 vt 750cdc (ace edition)
When I let go of my handlebars with both hands they shake violently
Holding on with one is manageable as long as I'm accelerating
Let off the gas and get the ol tank slappers
*A couple things to consider
-My front rim is slightly bent after getting in an accident, I had the wheel balanced yesterday but I assume the bend is making it un true so that could be the problem
-I jacked up the bike yesterday and couldn't feel any notches or play in the steering bearings while moving it side to side (could still be the problem)
At this point I'm kind of stumped, I am going to replace the rim entirely in the next two weeks but I'd like to know about the steering bearings and if there is a way to visually check if they are ok or not i.e. flat spots on them etc
Also If someone has a write up for replacing the head bearings that would be helpful, I assume it's almost the same as a bike from what I have read but I'd like to know exactly how hard it is to remove/press in the new races and if any sort of special tool is "required"
Thanks in advance
