Nislija Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Well this was happening earlier, since i started riding er6n . In some corners i fill the bike bouncing and feeling unstable, like it will slide and crash.. This isnt happening in all corners but in most of em . My bike as maybe some of you know has strong engine braking, so when i start bouncing and feel unstable i let of throttle and my bike decelerates and i fear i'll crash becaus of eather that or that unstability. MY rear shock is set little above the middle, i changed the forks oil to 15 grade, to get them a bit stiffer but not tu much. O and if not the most important thing i dont feel that unstability while with passinger, only when i ride alone . Quote
Pepsi Drinker Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Can you tell us; Through the bars? Through the seat? Both? Did it always do this or is it something new? Any experience on other bikes? Road conditions? or track conditions? Tires? Air pressures? Suspension settings/sag and damping in particular- not that the shock is set "little above middle" and the forks have -paraphrase...15w oil so they are stiffer. What are you doing with your body? your hands? your arms? your back? your legs? your eyes? your head? Quote
Hotfoot Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Per the post above, we do need more info, to help determine if this is coming from your tires, your suspension, or something you are doing in controlling the bike. Quote
tmckeen Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 if the problem seems to go away when you have the added weight of a passenger, assuming your riding technique remains the same, my un-educated recommendation would be to back off the preload on your shock. Have you set up the bikes "Sag" for your weight ? Quote
rchase Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Smells like sag adjustment to me too but as other members have mentioned need more info. BTW welcome to the forum. Quote
