sh*t nsr alert!

[matphillipsuk]

right here we go more crap with the nsr, ive got a couple more problems, these are, that under all types of breaking the bike feels like it weaving. ive just put new pads in and they are def in the right way not back to front or anything . any one any ideas on what that is?
the second is that when going round corners and ond straights ie everywhere the front feels like its bobbing up and down alos knocking at most times. im thinking fucked steering head bearing but when i tested this by checking movement in the forks i coulnt detect any? any ideas?
cheers

basicly the bike under all types of breaking feels like it is weaving. i have just put new pads in and they are in the right way not back to front or anything. does any one have any ideas on what that is?
the second is that when going round corners and on straights the front feels like its loose and it also creates a knocking sensation at most times. i think that it is a fucked steering head bearing but when i tested this by checking movement in the forks i coulnt detect any? any ideas?

forks have not long had new seals and oils in them. not sure about the front wheel bearings but no movement on the rear when i was tightening the chain the other day. any other ideas?

first of all , did you drain out the air ? do you know how to do it ?
did you take out , clean and grease the right handle axis lever ?
did you scrap a bit with sand paper the surface of your new pads ?
i suggest :
1) take off the bolt of your right handle , clean it with waterproof sandpaper grade 400 . grease it , and put back . this axis is a constant problem on the NSR . when you crash your handle , nothing comes immediatly , then break strongly .
2) replace you break fluid (use dot 4) :
- pump on you handle , stay pressed on , open the drain bit on the caliper (your handle will go own) , stay pressed , close the drain bit
and start again the process .
- watch constantly the level of fluid in the box . after about 20 times and 80cc gone , it will be ok
note : avoiding fluid going everywhere on the ground , use a plastic pipe that you shove on the drain bit and put the other end in a bottle . you will be surprise about the drained fluid colour !

With any handling problems I'd always make sure tyres are at the right pressure, not squared and have sufficient tread.
