I have an 01F4i and the first season I replaced the fork seals and everything was running good. this season I have noticed when I use the front brake I can feel and barely hear a chatter kind of like if you were ridng over a bunch of really small ripples in the road. When I hit bumps the front rattles around and sounds like a car that has bad suspension. I could deal with it before and nothing serious came from it but last night when I got on my front brake on the highway as I got slower and slower it felt like the rotors were bent or something, it was a weird feeling how the brake was grabbing. When I did the forks seals I noticed the forks were slightly bent but I could not get new ones at the time so I'm not sure if thats all it needs or if there is more to it. It sounds and like its coming right from the center of my triple. My grips also have an EXTREME vibration when im riding fast. Its not a big vibration it feels like a really heavy buzz

 

bent forks could definately create this kind of effect

 

Yeh I would assume it doesn't help. I want to switch to a 929 but am not sure if i should go with the whole front end or just the forks. I really would like to replace the whole front and have it all set and good but I cant seem to find many.

 

It might be the steering head bearings. MY F4i was doing the same thing before I tightened them up. Now it's doing it again so I'll tighten them once again.

 

how did you go about that? I could probably surf around the net and find my answer but if you can give me a quick idea i would appreciate it
