Bike status
I recently got the front tire replaced and the bearings were checked during that. They said it was all okay. The bike was not taken care of by the previous owner so the forks might not have been serviced for 19,000km or 9 years. I did the zip tie test. It appears that the forks are bottoming out, but only when I emergency brake. This is normal right? I haven't ridden other motorcycles but the forks do seem a little soft for someone 195lbs. Perhaps I can just swap out the oil to something heavier/thicker.
I managed to mostly eliminate the wobble just with straddling harder and not touching the rear brake. Thew wobble still occurs when I get down to 30 km/h on a slight decline but this may be unavoidable.
