Bar End Weights

However .. seems to me you asking for a hell of a lot from the guys in here if you can't answer their questions  :\

They'll need all the details and info if they are going to make any worthwhile recommendations. So:

Who is your ''very highly commended mechanic'' .. what qualifications or experience does he have?
(As I understand it .. sorting forks to work for you is a bit more involved than pushing a spring down a pipe  :\ )

What pressures did he put in the tyres, and how long ago was that?  You might (should) check them yourself  Smile .

How Heavy are you mate (in full kit)?  On a Bike size does matter .. really .. and your name is BIG Blue Bear  :eek .

Any chance of talking to the previous owner?  Who did you buy the Bike from .. Private or Dealer?

And so on .. if your problems can be sorted .. this is the best place to start .. but the guys need something to work with  Smile 

Stay Safe Buddy .. don't go round any more corners just yet  Wink    Trev    (Also a Big Bear .. Polar Clan)

Thanks PB,

I am doing my best to answer their questions and I'll do my best to answer yours.

All my work gets done by Dynotech Ecosse in Glasgow and they are very experienced and fully qualified and time served. They do a lot work for the racing circuit guys up here including the Scottish champion. They also do work for Kevin Carmichael who is a former world champion stunt rider, now currently with Triumph....his comments to me were they are the best bike mechanics in Scotland.

I will check the pressures but its always behaved that way no matter what tyre and when they were renewed.

I am "Big Boned" 6'3" and 17st. The rear shock and fork springs have been ordered to suit my weight and riding style.

Private sale and the previous owner I don't have his contact details but could go and knock on his door if I remember where the house is.
