Hawk 250 feels unstable

[newbie88]

I guess the best way to describe the feeling is that my rear wheel feels like it's wobbling or might fall off while I'm riding. I checked the chain alignment and it looks good. Axle nuts tight. Tires are at adequate pressure and spokes are tight. Any ideas guys?
Thanks!

sounds like your wheel bearings are going bad.

Check the swingarm bushings and the pivot bolt

Put it on a center stand and shake the rear wheel. Hopefully the culprit will reveal itself.

Pivot bolt for sure. Had the same issue and make sure your tire pressure isn't to low.

Keep in mind also that with the knobbies on this bike, it could get squirrelly on tarmac at speed as well. I would check what these guys are pointing out first.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'll go check it out this weekend

Funny you say this my bike has knobbies and I let my buddy ride it and he can back saying it felt as if my back tire was wobbling/unstable. I been riding it long enough to be used to the feel of the bike but I remember when I first got it I thought the same thing.
