Wandering XT660X, help!!!!!
Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, I could not find it.
My XT660X is completely standard from a suspension point of view, I have only added the Kev fork mod plus stiffer fork oil, nothing else. I have a problem with wandering from side to side when I get over about 140kph, (or even at lesser speeds if I have a topbox on, depending on the wind). I have made several tests and the problem seems to be a light front end, as things improve slightly when I transfer my weight as far as I can over the front end. So I need to stiffen up the preload at the rear, to push the back up a little, and or to drop the front forks thro the yokes a bit to drop and therefore load the front end. Needless to say I use the bike only on road. What do u experts suggest????? Thanks.
