my forks feel funny

17-10-2010, 01:06 PM

just been out on the S4 but the forks feel very lumpy ,had to replace the head bearings for the mot and i thought this would have sorted it it feels like the forks are loose in the head stock or that the fork lowers are rattling in the stanchions
any body else had this , the bike handles fine and corners like a dream and i only have 1/4 of a inch chicken strip on both tyers

so what ever it is i does not effect the handling

That'll be character shining through

Probably be worth going through the static and dynamic sags, fresh oil and maybe some different rate springs to suit your weight and riding
