Hey guys,

A while back I had issues with my bikes stability at higher speeds (120km and over) ,
Had some problems with the Dakar side stand, to the point, looked at side stand decided to dismantle the Sub frame to do the mod to side stand and discovered that the bolt that secures the forward section of the Sub frame had sheared off…. Lucky catch and all that.

My question is how much “rigidity” or stability would be lost in the bike if the bolt had snapped  ???  :-\ you could wiggle the frame about with the play… and any chance this had anything to do the bike having the wobbles?


thanks
