[QUOTE="kleake, post: 1189303, member: 19825"] Dave: I'm with ya, and that is why I'm posting. The first couple of days it seemed ok, but then I noticed a slight wiggle, then yesterday if gave me the bigger wiggle in the curve. I would say I might have been leaned over half way and only about 50-60% throttle when it did it. It wasn't enough that I backed off, but it was enough that I didn't add any more, then went to testing and feeling on the way home. At one point I even pulled over to look at it and make sure something wasn't working it's way loose. When I got home, I put it on the center stand and checked all bolts and tried to wiggle the swing arm and forks and everything seemed solid. I don't feel it over bumps or dips, but throttle or while turning I do. Redfish Hunter: This really concerns me to hear that, because I absolutely loved my PR3's. I felt I could push them to "my" limits and I always felt like they were solid. I never even felt them slip or drift at all, so to feel the PR4 squirm like this when I'm not even pushing it, really has me concerned. And yes, I noticed it follows the road irregularities more as well. The PR4 on the front seems to be ok while I was running the PR3 on the rear, but I am seeing some funny wear on it with less than 2k miles. [/QUOTE]
