Now it might be just me but my 2005 FZ6 seems to have overly light/twitchy steering. It's definitely much lighter than any other bike I've ever rode.
For example, if I'm riding at say 20mph and turn the bars a bit, they seem to want to turn right to lock by themselves and I almost have to stop them over rotating.
Tyres are new Metzelers (500 miles ago) and at the correct pressure, I've just had the head bearings replaced and fork oil too, rear suspension is set to 5 as I'm about 13 stone and the front forks are level with the yokes. Is this just an FZ6 trait or could something be not quite right (I've had 5-6 other bikes and none have ever felt like this).
Even after the new bits above it still feels weird. As I came into my street tonight I started to turn a bit and relaxed my grip on the bars and they continued to turn to full lock by themselves.
Any other ideas?
