Default 04 fxdx feels like the rear tire is getting ready to slip

in corners even in low speeds it feels like the rear tire is sliping, like i'm about to do a burnout drifting but in really low speed.

Have you checked pressure? You also might have gotten into some slime or chicken **** on the road, I've experienced the latter almost crashing my ***...

Check your rubber motor mounts.

.. and your spokes if you have them.. .also your swing-arm bearings.. as well as your axle adjusters.. start with tire pressure first as LFE mentioned.

One more thing - make sure your seat is properly installed. The metal prong up under your tank and the screw tightened in the back. A wiggly seat will make it feel like the tires are falling off.

This happened to me once, thought my rear end was sliding around, turns out I just forgot to put my seat screw back in......
