Hi guys,
I've been riding my '07 Ninja for about 1 year now, and lately I have noticed that the front is getting all wobbly whenever I hit grooves on the road. It doesn't have to be big ones.. every time the road is not perfectly smooth I get this weird feeling my front is jerking way too much. For example when lane splitting, just hitting the little bump between the lanes makes it jerk.
I think it's the tires, although they don't look too worn out. Could it be they are not correctly inflated? I was going to check the pressure tonight just to make sure, but before I fork out some $$ on new tires, I want to make sure that is the problem and not something else.
The bike has a little over 9K miles on it, but I only put 2K on it, and I have no idea if the tires were changed before I bought it or not.

Any idea? Thank you for your help all!
