[QUOTE="Coachpilot, post: 1467584, member: 98593"] Actually it's NOT very unusual on these big bikes. And here is why- Think of how much weight is on that poor little contact patch when leaned over, on the brakes or not. THE OTHER THINGS that contribute to this (that I've never heard mentioned here) are: 1- Old, neglected fork oil that has been SO worn out it really doesn't do any damping which results in the tire having take all the forces and road irregularities and 2- Old, and getting soft, fork springs which also contribute to the above issues. We all change our oil, drive shaft fluid, brake fluid, clutch fluid, etc. ...but the fork oil and springs, IMHO, are by far the most neglected of all. Yes, those springs do wear out too folks!
