Figured out what is causing my high speed wobble.  Every time I'm on the gas the bike sits back, and the front forks are topped out.  Replaced the fork oil recently. If I lift off the gas the forks compress and wobble is gone. How do I prevent the forks from topping out under power.  Thought of stiffening the rear shock. Any suggestions.

I am thinking about doing the katana shock swap and putting new springs in the frount.

Statistics are like a bikini - what they reveal can be interesting, but it's what they conceal that really matters.

make sure the preload is on a high setting before you do anything drastic
