1. Its got standard exhaust but pops and crackles on the overrun, is this normal?
2. The steering is giving me an odd sensation, cruising at normal speeds no problems, when braking for a slow turn( i.e at junctions) for a slight instance the steering doesn't feel if it will move, then feels like the bike wants to fall in the corner. Can't see a noticeable notch in the steering, could this just be tyre pressure or is it just a characteristic of the bike. Head bearing instantly spring to mind.
FYI bought the bike from Suttons motorcycles in Birmingham, they said they do a MOT type test/check on all bikes sold.
Many Thanks

sounds exactly like head bearings to me same as my x did I was away with it at the time and borrowed a barn and hoisted the bike off the yoke using the roof truces, I cleaned the bearings out with petrol and then re packed them with grease .......job sorted was as good as new
