fish tailing like mad
 

for the past day or two the back end of the bike has not been feeling right (you know what i mean you know your own bike) last night while braking it keep feeling like the back was trying to overtake the front, now even looking at a bend and she starts fish tailing all over the place. i cant belive these words are comeing out of my mouth but im now scared to ride her, and as some will testify i will ride anything (yc remember my front brakes) need help soonest or reccy for dales is out and summer if it dont get better,
sorry but its actually got to me and still a bit freaked out had to ride 30mile with it like that

Everything nice and bolted up on the rear?
Tyre gone square? What have you tinkered with recently?

Re: fish tailing like mad
 

Tyre pressues, check them.

I've had similar weird handling traits caused by lack of a few PSI in one of the tyres. A puncture in the rear tyre also resulted in some very strange handling behaviour as well.

+1,

my bros mille started behaving very badly, turned out to be dodgy valve cores, only leaked at speed.

Re: fish tailing like mad
 

no tinkering will check psi in a minute

+1 to Fizz, a nail in my rear, with a slow puncture made very odd behaviour on roundabouts. Not nice :-(

Rear wheel alignment?
Is it happening when on a constant throttle, under braking or giving it some berries?

How hard do you have to brake before the problem shows up?
