Hi,
i bought a 2008 FZ6N 8 months ago and i'm very happy with it. Currently 67 700 kilometers on it, and still running strong. Around 2 weeks ago i had an strong emergency braking with front brake ( didn't crash ), but after that i had issues with headstock bearing and strange handling behaviour. I replaced the headstock bearing with tapered bearings, and after that i had some issues ( stiffer stearing ) but that was resolved by un-stiffening the bearing. To make things worse, in that same period i had a 8-10cm nail in my rear tire, so i had to replace the tire. After all that, bike tracks straight but sometimes leans to the left. Front tire is Michelin Pilot Road 5 with around 3200 km and rear is also Michelin Pilot Road 5 with around 20 km on it. I noticed ( maybe a coincidence ) that front forks are softer than they should be.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
