    What could be wrong?

    I've noticed lately that in the straights my bike has been getting a bit wobbly. Today, while going out to get a pack of ciggarettes, I came around two different corners and nearly lost it both times. The first time, the back tire slid out and the second the bike started shaking violently (like a wet dog) and I had to straighten up mid-turn just to keep the rubber side down. Keep in mind that I have taken these two corners numerous times using the same technique that I did today. Might be wrong with my bike? If so, what could it be?

    The first things I would check would be all the bearings:
    - swingarm
    - steering
    - wheel

    Then suspension, but you haven't given us much to go on.

      Tire pressure.

        If it happened all of a sudden CHeck the tire pressure first maybe a broken shock, check the wheel brgs

          If it's tire pressure, it is probably too high.

          If there was a sudden change in temperature from cold to warm in your area, the pressure would go up since the air is less dense.

          If there is a leak, and the tires are all floppy, that could be a problem too, but I would think you would notice that...
