wierd feeling in the front end...

and i can't seem to put my finger on it. i figured i'd ask about this problem here because i know you guys are overly familiar with your set ups. during turn-in, the front end seems to dive into the corner a little faster than usual. it felt a little squirmy. when i move the bars from lock to lock, i don't hear rattling nor do i feel like anything is loose. anyone ever go through anything like this?

Have you recently changed your sprockets?

Or for that matter, have you recently changed anything on your bike?

also have you changed to different tires lately? it seems like a strictly geometry issue now....

i'm running dunlap q's. i've never had to much of a problem with them untill now. the bike is all stock except for the jet kit and full yosh.

usually the problem you have would stem from the front end being too low or the rear being too high in a nutshell. maybe the heat has made your fork oil too thin.

come to think of it, i filled up the rear about 2 days ago because the rear felt a little sluggish in the corners. i prefer to have my tires at about 30-32 psi front
and about 34 rear. i gotta find my tire pressure gauge.

I get a funny feeling in my front end when my husband puts his finger on it! Oh, wait a minute, you're talking about your bike. Sorry, couldn't resist! ;)
