Handling Issues XTZ
I have been experencing some interesting handling traits mainly on braking into roundabouts were the front either tries to tuck in or feels as if the front is stuck in a rut. MY XTZ has only done 2900 miles (09 model) is standard with Metzeler tourance tyres, the headrace bearings are also fine. I should point out that for the last seven years I have had bikes with 17 inch rims and I expected slower steering but this issue has me a bit spooked. I have also read elsewhere on the XTR forum that another member found tourance tyres going off when part worn. As soon as I get the bike back on the gas no problem and it could be me trying to ride the bike wrong and expecting too much from a trailie but any advice greatfully received - is it worth me changing the front only as the back feels fine to maybe a conti attack?
