Yamaha XSR 125 seems a bit unstable

[Seansmit17]

My YBR's front end feels wobbly and unstable at 60 in corners but fine other wise

But I just got an XSR 125 and it feels very unstable on the front at more than 40 ish. Any bumps etc and the front end wobbles really easy.

Tyre pressures are good. Is this just the way the bike is or is where some other things I can check over?


Its a 74 plate with only 1080 miles on it. 1300+ now I got my hands on it

A feeling of instability in the front is usually coming from the rear end. So you've done the first thing which is tyre pressure.

Also check wheel alignment, check for play in the bearings (wheel and swingarm) make sure all the bolts are tight on the wheel and suspension, no buckling in the wheel, chain tension correct.
