light front end
 

What would make a front end feel really light and a little twtichy?

i have just had new headstock bearings fitted and also wheel bearings so im not sure why it feels like this.

What would be the first obvious things for me to check? all the bolts and everything are fine.

cheers

Did you put the forks back in at the same height as they came out?

Re: light front end
 

Yeah i measured them and they were perfect, i remeasured them to see if they have moved at all and they are still spot on :confused:

Re: light front end
 

did this just happen after you changed bearings or was it there before?

Re: light front end
 

I have gsxr forks and had ohlins shock on full ride height, which felt very light and twitchy to me. Have you got a standard shock or something else?

Re: light front end
 

Add more preload to the rear shock. That will effectivly tilt the bike forwered and add more weight to the front end

Re: light front end
 

i havent adjusted any preload or anything so why would it now feel extremely light

Re: light front end
 

Perhaps your old bearings where shot, and now you have new ones it all feels a lot lighter because they are working properly?

Re: light front end
 

i had that in mind to be honest, the old bearings were shot.do you think it will settle down if it is?
