Wheel hop
 
Has anyone experienced wheel hop on the vader/razskull clones? When I ride at high speeds I believe the rear wheel hops. I Looked to see if there's any balance weights and there are none.

Sounds scary, hopefully just a weight fell off or someone forgot to balance it at the factory. I'd put it on a stand and check your wheel bearing too.

Get the rear tire off the ground and spin it. Check to see if you have a bent wheel/out of round wheel, or a tire hop.

Also, check to make sure that your swing arm/axle bolts are tight, and that you do not have play in the swing arm bushings.

For kicks, also check the chain slack. Make sure you are not to tight or too loose.

Check to see if the tire is beaded evenly on the rime too.

Thanks for the help. I've checked all yalls suggestion a few days ago. But I'll keep invastigating it. Might take the wheels off and get them balanced.

Make sure the rear wheel is also on straight. If need be, you'll need to adjust one side or both with the chain tensioner.
