It now seems that whenever I make a left turn going 25mph+ it seems like the bike is wobbling almost to a point of where I lose control of the bike.It is to the point where I can't finish the turn and just have to let off the throttle. As this only happens on left turns or at least I've only noticed it on left turns I'm starting to wonder if maybe this is a psychological thing? I've asked a biker friend of mine and he said that maybe the front wheel was off balance?
I crashed at 40mph(luckily landed in the grass). I realize there may be damage and I'm asking what you think it may be. For example : Bent rim , tire misalignment, bent fork , ect.
 
did the same but 55. its probably the front forks. there are bolts and when u release them tension will pop out and straighten ur wheel and tighten. worked great for me but i have an old bike!!!
 
Check your wheel alignment. both of the wheels have to be on the same line and this could have been tampered with by a bent swing arm or as simple as when the chain was adjusted one side of the axle was adjusted wrong,It does not take much of a twist to cause problems.
Now if you tell me that the bike is shaft driven instead of chain, then it's definitely a bent swing arm.
