I have an 01 cyclone I have had for two weeks and 2 thousand miles. I am beginning to notice a vibration in the handlebars at specific speeds if I do not keep a firm grasp on them, also if I let go of the bars at around 60 the bike wants to lean to left. I think my rear tire is out of align. What is the process to align that baby up, or what else could be causing this?

Thanks all!!

Check your front isolator for tears.

Rear wheel 'aligned':

The rear axle alignment is to measure with a caliper from the front of the recess in the swingarm in which the axle slides,to the front of the adjuster block (the axle carrier.) They need to be within .015" to be considered "aligned." (Fifteen thousandths of an inch.)
