Hey Gents,
I have a problem on my 2006 R1 last season where the bike would fishtail under hard braking (i.e 1st turn at Summit). However, it feels solid on the turns. I had put a zip tie on a fork and notice I'm still have about 1 inch of suspension travel left, yet the bike is already fishtailing.
I weight at 135lbs. The front suspension is completely stock. I had my race sag set to about 27 mm (with the stock spring, 0.90kg/mm, set almost at full soft).
I'm planning on getting softer springs (0.85kg/mm) but still unsure if this is the right change.
