Chain is too loose - can cause lurching as the motor auto shifts Front steering bearing wornout. Best bet put bike up on center stand You will need an assistant Have the assistant push down on the back of the bike to raise the front tire. Grab tire and try to move front to back. If you get a clicking noise the steering bearing may be shot Spin tire and see if there is excessive drag - if so the brake pad maybe dragging or loose. Goto the back side of the bike. Check chain for excess loosness. 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch play at center up and down is the most you need. Tighten if too loose. Grab back tire try to move front the back. If loose tighten rear tire nuts and tensioners Hope this helps Carl Lurching;

The front wheel could be slightly bent not visible to the eye, must be checked on a balancing device, normally done when mount- ing a new tire.
