Front end handling Problems

Ok guys, I've been having some problems with the front end of the ZZR1100, the last one had progressive springs, JMC swing arm and Hagon rear shocker, so handling was simply not a problem. It tends to drop in on corners and also gives a bit of a shimmy, bit like the wheel was out of balance. Any ideas????

ZZRs are like that mate, all of them, they never sorted the problem. Ive had 2 ZZRs now, and both have been like that. Theyre just really soft. Sorry pal, can't help ya out, other than buying aftermarket forks.

I discovered what part of the problem was, its called air suspension ...................... well actually its called putting air in the front tyre, it was only 20psi , still drops in a bit tho

I had a similar prob on my bike, but it isnt a ZZR... and it was rear end..... so maybe not so similar at that.... but you are right the right pressure in the tyres does help.... am I a twonk again?

Hi all i ride a zzr600 and its really sensitive to any changes in tyre pressures, also the rear shocks are crap after 15000 miles, bin it and get a decent replacement...

Hey Shadow,was gonna suggest air in both tyres,depends on load etc but i had a similar problem en route to stormin', the wally that put new tyres on my bike under inflated them as it turned out, never trust the buggers again
