Answer Usually, the front end wobble is caused by a bad front tire assuming it happens under 50 mph. If it a high speed wobble (over 50mph) it can be caused by the rear tire or if there's a lot of weight on the luggage rack of luggage compartment. Some bike have rear boxes installed and if you load those up, it causes a wobble.
