[QUOTE="quicksilver, post: 289646, member: 375"] Sounds like your front tire is shagged. Probably has serious cupping. Pretty common on heavy performance bikes. How many miles on your front tire. What cold pressure do you keep it at? I had this on a front Avon. I was pretty sure I knew it was the tire. I rode it that way until the rear tire needed help too. New tire made the problem disappear completely. Both Avon and Bridgestone have redesigned their front tires to help the issue. BT-021 or Storms are the newer stuff to have less cupping. Keep the pressure of your new tire close to 40psi to help keep the cupping away. I also went to heavy springs in front. Can't say it helps or not. [/QUOTE]
