[QUOTE="kamal, post: 1076950, member: 28387"] +1 I'm guessing the forks were re-valved, stiffer springs etc? After installing a Traxxion AK-20 kit in my forks and a Penske shock, it took a while to get the bike set up to how I like it - still not quite there. I would suggest double checking your fork compression, rebound and sag settings. In my case, the much stiffer rear spring [U]appeared[/U] to be putting too much load on the forks? Backing off the shock pre-load helped a lot. FWIW. I doubt it is the head bearings. Did you re-pack and re-torque them while you had the forks off? Good luck with this. Al. [/QUOTE]
