Hey guys, it feels like my 97f3 wants to dive left or right when I start to turn. Also when I am going slow sometimes and touch the front brake it almost wants to turn a tiny bit? I rode for 20 min at 60-70mph and neither front rotor was hot(sticking caliper?) I am not sure if it's normal or not, I have only had it for about two weeks. Any thoughts would be great. thanks.

 

check the steering head bearing. Have a friend sit on the bike and apply the rear brake. Then grab the handle bars from the front and make sure they do not wiggle in any direction. if you have a way to support the bike you can also check for up/down tightness.

I replaced mine with a set from ALL ***** RACING. They are roller style bearing so they are much cheaper and better built than the OEM ones. Plus the company was awsome to deal with. (my friend offered to press the lower on on for me and crushed it, the CEO sent me a new one at no charge!)

 

Oh also low tire pressure will make the front end feel that way.

 

also if the back tire has the flat spot it will feel like hell also .

 

thanks guys, I will try that when I get up.

later.
