When going into a turn, (not fast) The handle bar wobbles a little. What adjustment do I need to make to stop it? Is it rebound damping?

Any help please.

First, be sure that your steering head bearings (or Fallaway) are at the proper preload. Next, have an experienced technician measure the amount of sag in the suspension when you'r on it to set the bike up for your weight (preload adjustment for front & rear). Next, adjust compression & rebound damping according to your riding style.

Hope this helps,

Chris

My Brother in-law used to race and own a sportbike shop. He helped me with th initial setup adjusting sag and such with the owners manual for weight. The bike felt nice and tight before we adjusted anything, and now it feels a bit loose. The manual has some troubleshooting tips. Any tips from you guys about fine tuning?

Thanks

OK I added a quarter turn of compression damping on the front forks. It feels alot better. Is it better to have the suspension tighter or looser for the street? (MY bro-in-law doesnt seem to know as much as he led me to beleive.) Anyway I just want to learn for myself more about the wonderful fully adjustable suspension that is on my bike.

Thanks
