Rear Feels Weird...
Question:
I noticed that when I go into slight right hand turns, the rear end feels like it's trying to ease out. It doesn't do it when I make a left, or hard rights.
I've checked wheel alignment, pressure, and made sure that my suspension was matched up in the front, but it still feels like it has that slight movement.
Any Ideas?

Front tire wear will cause low speed handling differences.

Didn't make any difference. Did that with new set of tires, balanced. Not sure if I'm positioned differently between right and left or what.

something to try... check/ flush and replace front fork fluid. I know somebody that had around 6K miles on their bike with similar handling problems. He discovered a watery mess in his fork fluid.
While youre in there, checking tube position in trees as well as compression and dampening might do the trick. I dumped my bike several years ago and found the trees were tweaked ever so slightly. does the bike go straight down the road "no hands" ?

Yeah, it goes straight with no hands, no wobble. Now that I think of it, I wonder if maxing out the preload has anything to do with it...
