Hi all,
I have recently had my fzs1000 forks upgraded with ktec springs for my weight and 10w oil as recommended by ktec. Generally the ride quality is improved. The bike also has r6 Shock conversion and 10mm forks through yolks. Tyres are Dunlop Roadsmart 3's. The bike has developed a high speed weave which can be experienced in the higher part of the Rev range at the silly end of the speedo but when short shifting behaves normally. The bars begin to weave side to side steadily increasing until I think a tank slapper is next. Worrying! Tyres are new, no apparent play in swing arm, head stock or wheel bearings, wheels balanced and in line, tyre pressures correct. I set the sag when I put the forks back in the bike. Now showing 2 and half rings preload. Compression not far off standard and rebound a little softer. I am 14 stone in kit. Any suggestions? Anyone experienced similar? I am assuming I don't quite have the suspension quite right as yet. Anyone similar weight with same fork springs and a set up? Thanks
