Hi All:

After a lifetime of playing with Suzuki, Valkyrie, BMW, MotoGuzzi, I took your advice and also listened to my heart: I finally bought a 2002 R* 10500 miles for 4200.

It has Saddle bags and Cobra pipes. I still do not know what a midnight or a silverado means, but I like the bike a lot: truly high quality, or maybe it is the chrome that makes my jaws open. I just cant understand why they call it a rice cooker etc., to me it IS fu***in gold.

Now a tiny problem or may be a huge one: As a newbie to R*, when I lean the bike, even a tad bit, even at walking speed, it fights back, both ways, left or right, and fights back bad. The bike wants to return to the center.

Never experienced this on any bike.

Is this normal or my wheels are out of sync or something more sinister?

Regards

Pics later, it is night time, beer time.
