handling is "off"
i noticed the past two days when i have rode my bike (for a fairly short time because of this) that the handling of my bike is way off, it feels like the front tire is going to wash out. Now as a first note i checked the tire pressures and they are the same as i always run.I have gone through everything in my head that maybe its jsut me because i havent ridden in almost a month but i dont think so, i was also thinking that since it is colder my tires werent warmed up yet but i feel that 25 miles should be plenty of time. I dont know what it possibly could be but it has cut short my past two rides because i was unsure of myself going into turns and thats no way to ride. Any suggestions as to what may be causing this is appreciated
Iwould lift up the front to get the wheel off the ground and see if there is any side movement due to the wheel bearings, and while it is up in the air spin it with your hand and see if there is any wheel hop, wobble, etc etc,, if the front wheel checks out,, get the bikes front end supported off the ground via chassis, not the forks.. once you have it in the air safely check for play in the forks by pulling up on the wheel if there is no movement there then go to the rear wheel and check the rear tire for movement "play", then spin ((((with engine off)))the tire to check for hops jumps etc etc, and then check the swing arm for side to side movement,, if its not the front forks bearings, front wheel bearings, tire, or rear wheel bearings / tire, or swing arm theni have no clue other than checking the frame for broken welds best of luck
