Hey,
So I finally finished redoing my fork seals last night(it took several hours.) Anyway, on my test drive I noticed my bike kind of feels like it has a slight wobble to the left and right when I'm trying to go perfectly straight. It also feels like it wants to fall over into turns some and when coming to a red light at low speeds it just feels less stable. This time I went w/ 20 weight oil I dunno what was in before or if that makes a diff.  I  am at a loss for what might be causing it. Any ideas?

Front end all tight?  Might check the fork brace for loose hardware.
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Thats what it sounds like to me as well, something in loose.

Or the very common tire pressure too low

I was thinking the same thing too. I'll go back through and tighten it all down this week. Thanks for the help ya'll.

Airpressure and front to rear wheel alignments, check to make sure the rear is straight in the swingarm.
Accelerate like your being chased, Corner like you mean it, Brake as if you life depends on it.
