Getting a weird feeling
I get this shifty feeling, a small shift from side to side when cornering, seems to be in the back, any ideas?
My back tire is bald could that be the problem? Kinda flat in the middle so was thinking it shifts to the rounded part of the tire when I corner! Sound right?
Thanks Naz

My tire is good and I also get that feeling...almost as if the swingarm is flexing. It's nothing uncontrollable, but gives me an odd feeling when it happens.

RE: Getting a weird feeling
Single rider w/o passenger should be about 35 pounds, not 41 -- could be why the wear is more pronounced. Drop the pressure, check the wear bars on the tire. Change the tire if in doubt. Last thing you need is a bald tire, then it rains when you're miles from home...
