CB500/550 / Re: Front end bumby at low speeds..

Wow, that really makes sense and is really appreciative hey. I'm a newy to all this but really interested to learn. Maybe I should re flush and put 140 cc in forks. I did use ATF ?.. as I saw quite a few guys on here have suggested it..  as I I think what was in there before.. slight read tinge will do all this and let you know. Check my rear shocks too! Thanks so much. The open road awaits. Cruising through the N260 yesterday. Just gets me more amped to get her tuned right !! :)

Hi there,
Yes I am aware of the front axle bracket having a front and back, thank you for checking tho, i didn't know about the left side first and so on, thank you for that too. No my gender just has the 4 bolts that mount into the forks. I took it off, going to check over everything give it a run with nothing on, pilian, bags etc. The tyres were just fitted, have ridden in 400 ks so far. Think I will get a mechanic to have a run and second opinion.. should I change steering bearings ?.. I did fill up up forks to 160 as says in the manual. This could be it hey ? Right fork seal has slight leak too. Could this be adding to it. Thanks guys appreciate it hey.  :)

Hi guys I'm experiencing vertical bumpyness on my front end of 77 cb550f2 at low speeds, Could it be the shorty after market front fender ? Don't have the original so went for this, I have Dunlop K70 tires 350 on the front, are they no good? Really just looking for others advice, the bike is fully loaded bags on the rack  with my girl as well. Doing a trip, rode from Toulouse to Girona yesterday. Everything else is smooth. I have tapered bearings kit to fit, All balls  checked spokes, axle clamps, they're not perfect, tiny gap. Will make sure it's at the back will check wheel bearings chain slack and rear swing arm brushes today..appreciate the help. Once sorted plan to continue along the med coast.
Happy riding folks :)
