[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1459693, member: 19880"] Not sure what you mean by "jumping". Are you talking about "headshake" (handlebars oscillating, especially while decelerating)? If so, a front tire is often to blame (even a new one can be bad). It is worth checking the torque on the steering head bearings. Some people have found that replacing the original bearings with a set of tapered bearings and races eliminated this problem. Also, loosening the pinch clamps and axle and compressing the suspension a few times by pushing down on the handlebars and bouncing the front wheel can help align the front end. Tighten with correct torque afterward. Edit: If it is something other than "headshake", I would need to know more. Does your bike have the regular suspension or the electronic suspension? [/QUOTE]
