    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

what is the biggest contributing factor to ease of steering.while one bike might want to fall into a slow speed corner another will almost have to be forced to turn in.the reason i ask is i have 2 bikes and they seem to be at both ends of the spectrum thank`s Mark
 
a friend and i had i dentical bandits apart from i had standard bars and he had after market long renthals his stearing was much easier and not so heavey in the bends also have you checked the head bearings for slop . tightness or notchey ness
 
tyre wear, tyre profiles, steering stem bearings , swingarm bearings, wheel bearings and even tyre pressures will all make a difference.

I would say the biggest contributor is trail, if all else is equal (inflation, etc.). The more trail you have the slower it turns, and the heavier it feels when you try to recenter. This is due to the "drop" in the plane of the axle as you turn.
