steering

[Anonymous]

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.
