  • Handling issues of 220f

    i hope any one can help me out in this,
    here it is, I have a 220f I use to do a lot of rolling stopies stoppies, wheelies, rolling bornouts on this bike, now i realise that whenever the bike goes on some kind of crack between the concrete roads the rear and the front tyre skids as if there is no air in the tyre. Changed the bearing of the swingarm of the bike also the tyres bearing being changed yet no difference. Due to this the stability and the confidence while cornering is totally gone far far away, however when i drive my friends 220 which has done 7000kms but not any stunts on that it has superb statbility while cornering or at high speeds. Now i am ready to get that stability back by doing the expenses, but the problem is that i dont know what is the problem of my bike, i mean what to get repaired or replaced.
    any suggestion guys

      It does happen that whenever the tyres go through a crack in the road or sometimes even the lane strips, there is a feeling of the tyres being thrown out of the crack. Don't know if there is any solution for that.

        This used to happen with my CBZ. It could be a slight play in either the handle cone-set and/or the rear swing-arm shaft/bush. In my case it was both. It was to the extent that when riding on a straight road, when I turned the handle a little left and right the bike seemed like swinging and twisting. In your case I think its the cone-set. Other more experienced members maybe able to provide better insight into your issue.
