'02 800 model, when riding, anything off center the bike wants to turn to either side.Heavy feeling, counter steering needed to correct.
Tire pressures are correct, head and wheel bearings have been checked for noise and looseness.
Everything seems right but the front end feels like crap.
Any ideas?
My new-to-me 1999 1500 had strange handling issues and it turned out that the wheels were out of true. I found a good "spoke guy" and he put every to rights. It may be worth a look??
It sounds like a head bearing problem to me. Could be over tight / brinelled, or even loose. I suggest a strip and inspection.
replaced head bearings with All Balls and tires with Michelin Commander III Cruisers, bike has never handled better!
