    Sit as close to the tank as you dare.

    Move your weight to the front, decrease your front air pressure by 2 psi.

    Try any of the above, you should be able to find one which will stop the sway.
    Going by the instructions, I would be carried by the nearest trailer rather than sitting on the bike and riding,

              In windy day riding ns is difficult task it struggles to cross 90 and in cross winds it sway like a pendulum [emoji52]
              A bigger visor can help. Cuts the wind plus pushes the front down. For cross winds there's no solution

                Hi Guys,

                During my last service my mech told me that the monoshock was leaking oil and needs to be replaced. He said it can't be repaired? Can't the monoshock in our bikes?

                Also if I have to replace the monoshock, I could I switch to a softer alternative shock from another bike? Has anyone experimented with that?

                Thanks

                  Its the standard dialogue of the svc guys... i would suggest you show it once to a good shock guy locally too. I am sure it can be repaired.

                  I pray to God I walk away...

                            If you are looking only for comfort, leave the front as such if you want. If you want to improve braking efficiency and grip, get better rubber. For the rear it would be better to use 140/60 than 140/70, because it will maintain it's shape at a pressure lower than 140/70. About the brand, I can't comment since I'm still using Euros and I don't want to recommend something I've not used

                              Thanks. But Michelin comes only in the above two size. They dont have 140/60. And yes I am looking for efficiency and grip in both fronts apart from comfort.

                                Michelin better rubber and good grip both in wet and dry conditions but is expensive and too soft very prone to puncture..

                                Mrf > Vfm, good grip in dry, wet is okish.. Again soft and very prone to puncture..

                                Comfort well it depends on the tyre pressure you are having..
                                Plus your condition of shocks, road and speed you carry..

                                I am using mrf and satisfied with it..
                                If i have moolah then i'll get Michelin

                                For front i am on zapper fq
                                No problem with grip.
