Recently, we purchased an original Celebration HTi. This HT had a shimmy or wobble at times not present in my HTi purchased in April 2003. We tried various cures, such as higher torque on wheel bolt, retightening batteries, checking fender play and everything that might give a wobble or sensation of a wobble or vibration. Having one original HT in NH for a gear noise repair, I wasn't willing to give up my second one for LLC to diagnose. My gut feeling was the collar of the wheel bolt wasn't seating against the wheel hub. In a last resort attempt I fabricated a washer to take up the suspected slack. It worked:D. I have tested it for only a short time, but it appears to have "cured" the wobble.
