Hi, gang.
My 2001
750 Sport, 14000 miles, is handling a bit daggy at the moment. Slightly unstable on fast sweepies and slightly wallowy in sharper corners. Does a "rocking horse" impression at 60-70mph on a particular straight stretch of road I know, where the tarmac has regular small crests due to re-surfacing. The suspension is all original and standard; non-adjustable except for pre-load, which is at factory setting. Tyres are Bridgestone BT020s, very slightly squared off due to winter riding and regular commuting, but with tiny chicken-strips, honest! It's possible that the head bearing is slightly worn - my garage hinted at this at my last service, but chose not to replace them.
Is the slightly uninspiring handling down to: Inferior suspension? Worn out springs/fork oil/rear shock? Worn out head bearing? The fact that I recently bought a 999S that I am now passionately involved in?
(To be fair, I was a little unhappy with the 750's handling
before I got my 999.)
Advice would be really gratefully accepted! Thanks!
