I have a BT45 with maybe 500 miles on the front. I've real many posts concerning the 35 mph front wheel bounce due to axle fork misalignment and have tried the methods listed in the forms to alleviate this problem. I found the following excellent explanation and followed the attached instructions and illustration multiple times, yet I still have wheel hop at 35 mph.
Any suggestions? What am I missing?

(Note:Axle pinch bolts are finger loose at this point)

- Tighten the left axle pinch bolts to 22 N-m (2.2 kgf-m, 16 lbf-ft)
Note: Indication of “Left” is if you were sitting on bike - Tighten Axle Bolt to 79 N-m (8.1 kgf-m, 58 lbf-ft)
- Tighten the right axle pinch bolts to 22 N-m (2.2 kgf-m, 16 lbf-ft)
- Now loosen the left axle pinch bolts
- Note: During the assembly process, this is where you would be installing the brake calipers.
- Set the bike down where the bike's weight is on the wheels. Lock the front brake and push the suspension up and down several times.
