Your thoughts please.
I'v had my completely standard 2010 FE570 for two months and have just noticed a strange thing.
On the dirt it's great, easily the best handling 4T I've ridden of this engine size, and some smaller. The problem only shows up on the road/tarmac, anything smooth. When at anything over 40mph it's like it bounces along on the front, if held at a consent speed you can feel it, on overrun its unmistakable. It must bounce 20-30mm, it's a bit like a badly balanced wheel or bent rim, feels like I have egg shaped rims. It's defiantly a front to rear movement, not side to side.
The bike has 30 hours on it, nothing bent, still has the original Metzeler 6 Days fitted. Not sure on the suspension settings, the rear sag is set correctly for me. Tire pressures are set quite low at the moment, I may pump them up and see how it feels. Still got tubes, not sure what rim locks.
Never felt anything like it before, without something being bent, but nothing is????????
The bike handles rubbish on black ice 8O
