hi guys,
I'd really appreciate any advice on a tyre / steering prob on my gen 1
It's got Metz Z8 roadtecs on it that look almost new ( just bought the bike and they came on it and look like they were just put on before sale ) and to be honest the bike don't handle like I expected to , it always feels like I'm gonna tuck the front when I lean in like steering too quick and light or like it's going to understeer and I've got no confidence in it. I've had it serviced by Yam dealer today and got them to check frame , forks , bearings yokes tyre pressures etc ( complete chassis check ) in case something bent causing it , but all good apparently except possible slightly bent bars , it's got renthal 758's.
So next on the checklist is tyres , never had Metz's always Bridgestone on my 600 except had PR2's for a bit and not impressed so do I spend a few quid and get new boots if so what ones are good, not too worried about tyre life as don't do a lot of miles these days just want a good tyre that will give me confidence on weekend runs out
Or there's plan b , will the R6 shock mod I've got from Devilsyam sat in the shed waiting to go on (when the missus finally stops giving me bloody jobs around the house ) make a difference and give me confidence in the Metz's.
All suspension settings I put back to standard in case previous owner's settings were doing it ,
Apart from that I love the bike
Any suggestions greatly welcome
