Out last night,and mr D J Webster decided to race me back home so i went for it, traffic lights go to green and off we go was flying but as the bike got to 80ish it felt very un safe just like a wheel wobblin, handel bars wobblin, felt like got no traction to the road not cheecked any thing yet but thought if any you guys had come across same thing you could post some replies thanks
ye up m8,1st of all ...main thing check everything its a lambretta,,,,,,, check your hubs and wheels r ok,you hear all these horror storys about hubs comeing off,studs snapping and shearing off etc, wheels splitting, check very closely..even check tyre presure....with what you said on your post could be any of these symptons.......but while your at it tighten and check every thing m8 amazing things for vibrating loose.......

Had a similar thing on a GP I once owned. It had been rebuilt, going slow it was fine but when you got to over 75 ish the front seemed to loose stability the frame felt like it had turned into jelly. On mine it was a bit of grit in the fork bearings. I fitted loose rollers top and bottom after cleaning out the bearing tracks and fork stem, the scooter was fine after that.
wheels need balancing

think the problem may have been sitting too far back which made front end light when going around a fast corner
I would go with tyre balancing.
My RB started doing the same over 75ish when I first put Raceman tyres on.
I balanced the tyres front and back, no problems since.

its also worth getting the hubs and wheel balanced as one if poss a good tyre fitting place could do itKCB wrote:I would go with tyre balancing.

Try tightening your front axle nuts...
