So the bike doesn't want to stay on the ground while going straight....the bike natually wants to do the following....
- the front end up in the air (pic below)
- the front end diving into the ground (vid + pic below)
- or going side ways, waaay leaned over scraping my boots....SCARY!



here are some pictures/videos to illustrate my point....

Have you tried setting everything back to stock? If it's an '03, have you ever had the forks done? New fork oil? Bushings? Springs?

*EDIT* Yeah, uh, nevermind.
 
That's why they call it a rocket because of its tendency to fly.
 
You just need some weight in the tail, bike isn't balanced. I'd say about 10 lbs in the tail would do it.
 
Best part of this video is the kid's giggle...
 
I think my feet are pretty tucked in....I wear size 12's so they aren't tiny, but aren't clown feet either...

I don't get it, is this post sarcastic?
is this you in the pic?

The reason I ask, is that you say you think your feet are tucked in, and then you post a picture of more than half of you boot hanging off the outside of your footpeg, as if to prove yourself wrong :lmao::confused:
