Shimmy under load

Post by Jethro » Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:32 pm

I've put a little over 1000 miles on my CB77 since I've restored it. I'm not sure if it has done it all along or I've only just noticed it but it seems to shimmy while under load. Not always but about 75% of the time while accelerating.
I've gone over some things and everything seems tight. I've adjusted the chain, the cam chain.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Jethro

Rear fork bearings ? Loose rear wheel ?
assembly of Japanese motorcycles requires great peace of mind (Pirsig)
