Bike want to drop in at slow speed

[Deleted]

Hi! to you all great site, been looking at it for a while and now i have got my bike i have signed up.I i saw a thread about this somewhere but i cant find it now. I have just brought my 2007 bike which had a slow speed off the bike seem to ride ok but tends to want to drop on its side a slow speed. In the accident the bars went back to dent the tank slightly but they do not touch the tank now allthough one side is slightly closer to the tank at full lock. Any ideas what damage i should be looking for, someone mentioned the fork s may have moved in the clamp or rubbers on the bar raisers, worn tyres any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank Paul

Try your Tyre pressures, can be a simple as this.

I had the same experience once and that was the problem.

if it was mine i would strip the bars down including clamp and inspect all parts
its an easy job

you can get replacement bars not expensive including clamps try rizoma or renthal also a good upgrade

if the bars are closer to the tank 1 side there is somthing wrong could be quiet simple like the bars have shifted in the clamp
make sure there central in the clamp

Had tyres fitted today (Avon Storn st) and it has transformed the bike.

Can be as simple as that!

I have just recently changed my tyres because the bike felt like it did not want to turn at slower speeds, say when you are going round a roundabout and the front tyre felt very vague and did not give me much confidence at all, my bike is 4 years old and still had the original tyres on, i swapped them for a pair of Michelin Pilot Road 2's and the difference is amazing.
