Hello All,
I have a 1994 XLHC 883 with 22k on it. Running Metzler 880 Marathons tires. I love riding my bike as often as possible but, as of late I have found that my front end seems to be "touchy" as if the bike wants to come out from under me with the slightest of movements. I usually ride on the same roads so road surfaces shouldn't be a factor, I've checked tire pressures which stay at Manufactures recommended specs of 30psi front 36psi rear. It's My front tire does have a bit of weather cracking on the sidewall but nothing major. Is there anything I should look for that might be a cause? I am somewhat mechanically inclined but also don't want to mess anything up or cause further issues.
I must mention that the bike was in an accident before I took ownership and had alot of front end work done, but, since owning it I have never felt this before until the past 2 rides I've taken. I'm just concerned that something may get worse or result in a crash and like everyone here, I really want to avoid that! Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jason
