Sounds like an out of round tire, or a loose neck nut. Where the handlebars meet the frame there should be a nut on top and another spanner-type nut underneath. Tighten these until you meet a little resistance on turning the handle bars. The top nut is meant To be a jam nut, so tighten accordingly. If the above doesn't fix it, get a new front tire. |

Could a weight have fallen off & created an unbalanced wheel? You could try testing it with a ghetto wheel balancer |

Does it feel like a wobble or is it actually pulsing like it wants to change speed up and down real fast? The first could be an out of balanced tire the second could be a bad clutch or some other issues with the motor, like a CDI going out.

Look under the "hood" up front. Should just be a couple screws on the front cover and a couple coming through to the back of it from near the bottom of the steering column. If you still can't find em, I have an atm50-a1 I can take pix and highlight where the bolts are. |

You have dual headlights inside the front of the bike, NOT on the handlebars? Remove the panel these lights are Mounted to. If your lights ARE in the handlebar assembly, look underneath the handlebar assembly for a panel that is kinda large. It clips to the other plastic as well as being screwed in place. All of this it referenced looking at the front of thebike not From the seat. |
