Hello everyone
I have a newly acquired 2012 zx14r, 55,000 km, beautiful shape. After the first several rides I started noticing the feeling of a bit of looseness in the steering only a very low speeds over uneven pavement. I had the bike at the shop about a week later for a new front tire, they checked the front wheel bearing and it was fine. The new tire which is a road smart 3 is great but I still feel what seems like a bit of looseness steering at very low speeds over uneven pavement. At speed it's not noticeable at all.
Next week the bike is going back to the shop for some new fork seals as one is leaking a bit and I'm going to have the fork bushings replaced at the same time, thinking a slightly worn bushing may be the issue.
The bike has the 190 series rear tire, I recall a number of years ago reading that the 190 series caused some odd handling behavior.
Any suggestions?
