I checked the air pressure today and found only half of what was supposed to be in the rear tyre. So I pumped it up and that made all the difference, handles much better now. I suspect thats what caused the bike to feel like it did.
Also set suspension sag properly, its stiffer now in the front, haven't messed with dampening yet, thats still on setting 2.
Tyres are old LongCheng, made in Taiwan! Heard of it? Thought so....
Rear tyre dot code reads 515 and front reads 186, so they're real old! Still goes like stink though! Also makes lots of pretty white smoke when doing burnouts
Steering bearing is good! I tried to check the rear swingarm but I'm a little uncertain about the result.
I put it on the center stand and held the bike with one arm while trying to move the swingarm with my other, but the whole bike wanted to move around so I'm not sure if I saw slack or if I just imagined it...

Unless you know that your tire pressure was good, it is pointless to wonder why your bike doesn't handle. Low tires feel like crap, especially on the front.
