For years I really hate that about the f4i. I have put on 11k since 2004.I had a 99 zx6r and it would dive into turns. Also had a cbr f2 and all I had to do wasthink where I wanted to turn and it would go there. Im gonna try some pilot powers cause supposedly they turn in faster. I have diablos which I love on now but just wish the bike would turn easier. It bothers me when I come up to pot hole or bump and I cant get out of the way soon enuff. Or is it just me? Anybody else notice this about the f4i. Plus I have a scotts dampener which I have turned down to the 1st click or It would really suck

 

I think it may be you, mine handles incredibly, check the rear tire and maybe replace it?

 

Yah, I have the Pilot Powers, and they rock. Tires is what makes the difference.

"Its not the car, its the driver"

 

yeah i agree with what was said above. usually more to do with the rider. my f4i turns even better since i changed up the suspension settings. have u changed the stock settings on your suspension?

 

never had any proublems with mine

 

the problem is you, not the bike

 

one of the biggest improvements you can make to any bike is modifying the suspension to fit you and your riding style. if you dont feel like messing with the suspension , you probably should think about how you are handling the bike. how are you leaning, where is your weight at, counter steering all these things plus many more factors can make a day/night transformation on how the bike handles. so just get out there and ride and get better so you can enjoy the bike more

 

are there any guides on how to adjust the suspention?

This might help.

 

the bike should feel neutral, unlike gixxers or yams that feel like they want to dive in. i like this much more as it feels more stable in the turns. if you feel that the bike is fighting you in the turns, then you'll want to readjust the suspension, tire pressure, and even as suggested with the tires to suit your needs.
