Is there a problem?

Took the GSXR out at lunch... was going round a really wide corner... possibly a 100mph+ corner, thats how wide it is, but I was at 30, its the middle of town etc.

I eased off the throttle whilst being slightly leant over, just enough to turn the bike, no mental angles at all. As I eased off it felt like the rear wheel "kicked" or stepped out slightly.

I repeated this a few times to see if it was a one off, it appears not.
Its almost as if the bike wants to stand back up, but it then kicks for some odd reason?

Never noticed before, have noticed the rear racetec is at the limit tread wise though Laughing

Could it be wheel alignment?

Wouldnt be inconsistant amounts of fluid in forks would it ?

Checking alignment would be my first port of call to be honest...

I'd have thought the chain may need a good inspection too...

Only reason I'm guessing wheel alignment is I had the rear wheel off, even had the chain off this weekend. Chain got cleaned then dropped into some old engine oil for about 4 hours.

I'll check alignment asap... pretty scary Laughing

Sounds like an under inflated front tyre to me. Or a badly squared rear. Both have a similar feel

Could be a square rear tyre tbh, its a racetec and has done 2300 miles since fitting... just hit the 1mm limit I think. Must change this weekend, got a few spare in the garage Laughing

Front tyre is fine, nearly new I guess and was pumped this Sunday Thumbs Up
