Possible pot hole damage?

[Mej]

I rode over a pretty big pothole yesterday and took a fairly hard hit on the 750, afterward the fron end felt a bit wobbly/unstable?

any ideas?

its in for a once over in the garage next week with some new pads, so i think i might ask them to take a look.

cheers

Don't drive over potholes on a bike with 3mm suspension travel?

Then my advice would be not to close up on the car you're about to overtake, especially if the road surface isn't very good...


As for the bike, I'd wager the bike is fine and the symptoms are in your head, same way the engine always makes odd noises after you service it yourself. If you really wanted you could take the wheel and get it tested but unless the rim is bent it's unlikely to have damaged the steering components

Oo what road j?

probably, i stopped and wheel looked fine, just dont fancy the front end falling apart when im riding along.
