    Front End Bounce

    Okay guys, tell me what the problem is.

    I've noticed lately that I have a bounce in the front end of the bike. The tires are good, pressure where it should be, and there is no leak in the fork seals.

    I have noticed that it has been worse since the temps have shot up. Averaging 90 - 100 here for the past 2 weeks (as it is everwhere else I know).

    Any suggestions or thoughts?

    Is this when You are Cornering or does it happen when going straight?

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      Most likely a balance or wear issue. Sometimes the weights will loosen up and spin around the wheel until something stops them.

        Are you sure its not the road ? Asphalt will buckle when it gets really hot.

          Happens both straight and cornering, but seems to be less when cornering.

          And doubt it's the asphalt. It's no matter where I ride.

            how old is your fork oil? are you seals shot, sometimes the seal get so bad all fork oil leaks out and then you have no dampening left.

            i would flush the forks and add some 15wt fork oil see if that helps.
