RE: Wobble when leaning???
Sunspot and blinker fluid eh? umm...need help understanding that one.
Tirewise, I asked my co-worker who is a rider and he said that it's got "washboard" effect or something.
Bike was purchsed very recently and seller mentioned new tires as well, I will go check the pressures right now. Bike was never wrecked.
I think it's mostly rider though. When I lean, I push my handlebar and lean. How is proper leaning done? Just lean my body and no handlebar or just light handlebar and mostly leaning??

RE: Wobble when leaning???
i've noticed my rear tire seem to slide around a little on turn entry lately
something to try before replacing the tires is to add a couple of pounds to the rear
i think my issue was going cheap when i bought my last rear tire but the pressure increase did seem to help somewhat
if you think it's rider error i'd say go get Twist of the Wrist 1 & 2

read it and try it. it may help. you still didn;t respond to the tire pressure or tire wear appart from the Washboard thing.

does the rear tire look more l.ike a square than a curve?

that answers that question. The whole tire is a chicken-strip. from the looks of it, the previous owner went very slow in the corners and never leaned the bike over. There's nothing wrong with that, but it'll reak havoic on the real wheel.
