Heavy Front End
I took a spin around the block for the first time since my wreck and was a little disappointed. Now I'm not sure if it's that I haven't ridden my bike in about a month or so, I have no pipes (less weight in the rear), or that something might be wrong...really wrong...but...
It feels like I can't counter steer the bike worth a damn and whenever I try, the front end just feels heavy as hell! I was afraid to go into any serious corner in fright that I wouldn't be able to counter steer and lean over and in a stroke of bad luck...run off another cliff. I'm not sure if this means my forks aren't aligned properly, forks are bent, etc.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
