I dont know if im the only one that does this but do you ever get on your bike and as your driving along you convince yourself there is something wrong with the handling? When there is probably nothing wrong with it at all?

I was convinced it felt wrong all last night doing a 100 mile trip and today I rode it and it feels fine again! Hopefully its just me!? :roll:

Maybe it is handling funny tho.
Do you do some pre ride checks?
i'm guilty for not doing em on every ride but for a long journey i would tbh.

You could do with checking your rear wheel alignment... After I'd had mine dealer services it felt funny - I checked my rear wheel alignment & it was a country mile out :roll: Tw@'s :evil:

yup i get that too, esp when being followed by vans

go round a roundabout a few times before i get in, or pull a u-turn down a quiet road to make sure tho :)


in regards to the handling side of things . . . i used to get it all the time.
i got it the other day, i was so sure something wasnt right.

til i checked the road - lovely and dry with no salt at all :)

knee down time :twisted:

i somehow always worried about the car behind can't stop in time and hit me... check mirror a lot when in traffic..

Since my wheelie gone wrong escaped I had to change the handlebars over and now I get high speed wobbles from the front end. Thought it was something that had broke that I had missed. The it dawned on me................. no bar end weights. So a new set will be ordered as soon as I can afford it. :roll:

Yes sometimes, I get that with the car as well

Normally its because the tyres are slightly under inflated
