1. Things just don't go together the way you think they should. 1. Read and follow instructions carefully.
2. Bike leans to the right or left. 2. Place shims in between frame and belly bracket (for one piece brackets) or in between the 2 pieces of the belly bracket.
3. Bike pulls to the right or left. 3. Bike and Voyager are not aligned. Loosen belly bracket and align unit.
4. Bike has front-end shake. 4. Check tire pressure. Voyager tires should be filled to 20 lbs. Motorcycle tires should have normal air pressure. Check air pressure on shocks of motorcycle. Front should have from 5 to 10 lbs. Rear should be almost at max. air pressure. Front tire could be worn or cupped or out of balance. Motorcycle front springs could be worn. Fork bearings could be loose.
