hi all, need some help with this one. (2000 fy model, 6000 miles uk model...f4 US)
under heavy braking the forks are 'chattering' (when looking through the fairing hole there moving forward and back rapido!). this only happens under heavy braking. normal riding braking is fine.ive recently had new tyres so the wheel is balanced fine,had it re-balanced to elimate the prob. discs are fine no warping,head bearings-checked em yesterday - fine. suspension settings at standard tried a few adjustments - no change ,jacked the bike up gave the forks a pull didnt seem to move just slightly flex under the pressure i was putting on em....any ideas comments V welcome. thanks

 

g'day mate, just a question, are your tripple bolts tight?... just a though..

peace

 

i doubt your forks were ever serviced...you gots to change the fork oil every season or 10k...2000 bike at 6K..your oil is 6 years old!!

also, after changing the oil, ensure that the forks are adjusted evenly...then to your bodyweight and style.

 

how do you adjust your forks?
