Unstable low speeds

Cheers another thing I'll get checked out

 

Don't! I picked it up cheap, so I don't mind spending £600 I'm hoping the fresh tyres tomorrow sort it, if not the when it's in for its service Saturday I'll ask the tech to check other possibilities.

Just need to find a seat cowl

 

Hope tyres sort your concern with handling

 

I bet the postman don't like walking round that each day

 

I'm 99% sure it's head bearings mate had the same problem on various bikes over the years it was always head bearings

 

Yeah, I have a feeling it is too. Just strange it's only at low speeds. I'll let you all know this afternoon once the tyres are changed. Fingers crossed!

 

Hopefully it will get sorted - welcome to the forum.

 

Yep bearings are shot , new rubber made it feel even worse! Booked in for full service new head bearings and MOT Saturday

 

OH Boy! I woul;d have kept that quiet if I were you, cue the gloaty told you so's

 

Haha! I don't mind, honest as the day is long, plus I half expected it! Tyres needed to be changed anyway!

 

When Head bearings are changed you will have to get used to the new improved handling, bet you were pleased to find this fault ?

 

That is what these forums are all about for sharing experiences that we all enjoy getting involved in and if we can helping each other

 

Fingers crossed

 

Probably would have been picked up on MOT, Just a thought would it be good to ask them to do MOT just in case other things come to light then if only fails for head bearings get them to do that and ask them to road test to see if handling issue resolved, then when all good news have bike serviced ??

 

Spot on diagnosis TOP CLASS

 

Hey crispey, I'm dam sure there's no told you so's on here! Snigger snigger

 

So, new tyres, full service, head bearings were fine, so full forks strip and service this week and a cheeky K&n power commander remap etc

 

That's interesting about the head bearings. What have they found with the forks?

 

anyone mention wheel bearings???

 

So it was not the head bearings then ??
