hey guys, not sure how to really explain this, but here goes...
i have a 2001 R1, it just doesn't seem to track right down the road anymore. at low speeds its fine, but at higher speeds on the highway, it just feels a bit off. i wouldn't say it wiggles... not bad anyway. it used to feel like it was on rails before. i have wheels from a 2010 R1, a new steel Vortex 48 tooth rear, a new 16 tooth Vortex front and Braking directional wave rotors all around. i did all that two seasons ago, rode awesome.
so, i checked my chain slack, a little loose, not terrible, adjusted that. front sprocket nut was loose, tightened that. rear axle nut was tight. can't feel any play in the swing arm, but i did get a 1/4+ turn out of the swing arm pivot bolt. also got a 1/4+ turn out of the front axle bolt.
could it be any, or all of these little things combined?
also should mention... and this is reaching. i haven't ridden much street this season. been spending a lot of time on dirt, especially on my quad... am i just more used to dirt now and feeling everything on the road that i used to ignore?
anyway, gonna go for another ride and see how she feels.
