Default RE: Front End Diving in turns

Based on your riding style the first thing I would look at is your fork seals, see if one or both are leaking, coming down hard from wheelies will tear them up if your doing that a lot. If you have never adjusted your front suspension, go to sportridermagazine.com and find your bike, they will have a good base setting for rebound, compression, and preload, you will definately be in the ball park then. I don't think you will totally tune out the dive if your doing stoppies though. Just remember that all that stunt stuff takes its toll on the suspension and drive train.

They guy that set my suspension told me to pull the seals on the forks down, put grease on the seals and shove them back into place every month so the forks have less resistance. Getting my suspension set, and taking his advise fixed my problem.

ORIGINAL: CBR1000RRMARINE

Slow- To a suitable entry speed
Look- Look at your exit point
Press- Press to iniate lean.
Roll- Roll on the throttle.

What causes your front end to dip. One looking at the ground while in the corner. Where ever your eyes go, bike follows. Two letting off the throttle while in a turn even for a split second. Three suspension and sag needs to be set to your weight.

I guess its more like when i first get to the curve. It feels almost like i went in to hard and the front end literally goes down. It kinda feels like when u preload ur suspension, u know ur pushin the springs down...thats what it feels like when i enter a curve sometimes. Its not that it would bother me if i felt it all the time, its just when i feel it every once in a while is why it bothers me. I mean if it happened all the time i could just adjust, at least i would know its comin.

Adjust your preload and damping at the top. Then adjust your rebound located at the bottom of the fork. Try that.

Spring preload and rebound damping are at thetop and compression dampingis at thebottom. Thats if you own forks that are inverted.
