the 748 a wonderfull handling machine. Check what tyres sizes are fitted.
Look behind the head stock. If it is on std angle the will be very little gap
( concentric).
The other setting will quicken the steering and can make it twichy for some?

Check out the rear shock, make sure it aint shot.

What tyre pressure are you running?

Thanks for welcome chaps. Some good advice there, I'm going to dig out the page in the manual that tells me what all the measurements should be.

Cheers Rik...
