I am feeling a chatter or skittish feeling going over divots and flaws in the roadway. I jacked the front of the bike up and found I could wiggle the wheel up and down with about 3/32" between rebound and compression. What causes this? Low oil?
While checking this, I also measured 1 9/16" sag. I weigh 180-185 dressed. What should it be?
Do I need a "rebuild" or "tune-up". Bike has less than 10,000 easy miles. Is there a good suspension rebuild/set-up guide? I tried FAQs and Section 8 guide has been removed by them...
Lastly, how do I raise the rear as so many here seem to recommend--yet doesn't this make the bike more "skittish" (less rake), or does it help weight transfer? It sure seem to corner better when laying on the tank...Maybe clip-ons would put me there with better arm leverage?
Any help is....helpful...
