Default Odd sterring/turning...

Hello there,

I used to own a 600RR but i recently sold that to get rid of some bills and bought a used F4i.

The problem with it is the steering is weird! Low speed maneuverability is terrible and im constantly fighting the steering... only at low speeds. It feels as if when i make a low speed turn, the handle bars want to turn all the way.

Anyone have an idea whith whats wrong?

you mean it'll want to dive in or something? it shouldn't be sooo bad that you can totally tell the difference between your RR and F4i.

you know...the fork oil you have in there is probably MANY MANY years old...i would swap it asap...should be done yearly or every 10K.
