hey fellas, day after tommorrow im getting new fork seals put on(cbr600f2'94). In the meantime though when i have to take the bike i been noticing very poor stabilization when turning. THe higher the speed, the more it feels like the bike will just slip out from under me if i lean into it too much. Since the fork seals are busted and the oil has leaked out of the forks is this the cause, just the suspension being screwed from it? Or is it something else i need to address? Thanks for your input guys,

you're probably bottoming out causing the front end to "push" and not rebound as it needs to.

 

that will do it. what happens is you have good rebound/ compression on the good side and none on the other. this makes the bike forks twest when you put on the break.not good.

 

and a bad front tire can cause this

 

lol thanks fellas, well either way shes in their now getting repaired, i just got az new front tire a couple of weeks ago, so i know i dont have to worry about that.

 

If you can, I would stay off the bike till its fixed.

Doesnt' sound like a good thing for you safety wise or for the bike load-wise.

 

the feeling of "losing" the front is exactly as previously described. The front suspension is not dampening properly so you get a "floating" feeling from the front. You might also want to check the steering stem bearings because a slight wobble in the head can cause this sensation as well.
