motopilot Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I have been at odds trying to figure out this problem. Initially, I had trouble steering and suspected the steering head bearings needed replacing. My former mechnic told me that they just needed tighening. He did that, but the bike still wanted to dive into corners and had notchy steering. He told me that I just needed to get used to it. :loony: Anyway, I went to another shop and had the bearings replaced. However, the XX still feels like it wants to dive into left hand turns. Turning right feels nuetral. I have since replaced the tires and had the alignment check, but I still don't feel right. Is it me? What else am I missing? :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBR-RR-XX-CESS Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Any chance this bike has been wrecked,? My wrecked gpz acted like that with a bent frame. Just a thought. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XX Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 He told me that I just needed to get used to it. :loony: <rant on> stupid effin mechanics, glad you call them "former" now. Our bikes should ride like effin dreams and if they don't, there should be something that can be done about it. keep working on it, sorry i can't help out, just wanted to bitch a bit :evil: <rant off> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I hope you had tapered rollers installed and not the shit stock ball bearings. Another weak spot IMO, right there with CCT and REG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
